We know, everyone wants the Victorian Championships results, and with Vics happening right now, this weekend, we're right there with you. But we can't forget about the invitationals, so here's a quick wrap-up of the Jets State of Mind Invitational on 10 October. We promise to get the Victorian Championships results, and a wrap-up article, up as soon as we get them.
Before we get into it, can we just take a moment to acknowledge the word play of this comp? "State of Mind" and it's the last comp before States... I see what you did there Jets... and as a Dad who loves a good Dad-Joke... I'm impressed.
MAGA AND PIT SHARE THE LEVEL 3 AND 4 TEAM TITLES
MAGA won the team title in Level 3 Division 1, Level 3 Division 2 and Level 4 Division 1, where MAGA Pink's 113.0 was the highest team score of the day across Levels 3 and 4. PIT matched them with three of its own, PIT Blue in Level 3 Division 3, PIT Aqua in Level 4 Division 3, and PIT Blue again in one of the two Level 4 Division 2 fields. Aerodynamix Blue took the other on 108.525. In Level 3 Division 1, Geelong YMCA Black and Geelong YMCA Red took second and third.
SEASON BESTS AT THE TOP OF LEVEL 5

Level 5 Division 2 was the biggest field of the day at thirty-six gymnasts, and MAGA's Ivy Drake won it on 36.55, close to a full point above her previous best this season. Clubmate Bella-Maree Moxon was second on 36.475 and Jets' Felicity Ford third on 36.35, both season bests as well.

In the other, EKGA's Sienna Caputa posted a season best 45.0 to lead an EKGA one-two-three, ahead of Harriet Gluschenko and MacKenzie Barbara.
ONE LAST QUIET WEEKEND
Once Vics wraps up, we're all waiting to see how things look after the dust settles on the major changes Gymnastics Australia is bringing in. Nobody knows the exact details yet, but the common belief is that things are going to get harder for the athletes, with harder skills at the lower levels, balanced by more choice of skills and updated scoring for Levels 5 and 6. So let's enjoy this one, the last article before all hell breaks loose. Good luck to everyone competing at Vics this weekend.
Full results from the 2026 Jets State of Mind Invitational are up on the results page.
