Coaches Stepon Odajyan, Manvel Grigoryan and Darryl Thompson join the boys for a photo after a successful weekend.
Led by coach Stepon Odajyan, the Los Angeles School of Gymnastics Level 4 Boys team had an excellent showing at the 2015 SCMGA Team State Championships this weekend.
The boys came in fourth place, besting over 15 other teams from around the state and coming just short of earning a banner for the gym.
Everyone at LASG is extremely proud of the team for putting forth such a good effort and representing our gym this weekend!
LAGymnastics.com was able to catch up with Martin Pentchev Monday afternoon to talk about his experience with the team and how it felt to take fourth place. Read below for the exclusive interview!
