For six gymnasts from Miyagi Gymnastics in Auburn the long road to State Championships ended on Sunday with four level 5 gymnasts and two level 6 gymnasts earning guaranteed spots at their upcoming championship meets.

Three sessions of gymnastics meets took place in Auburn Sunday as 10 clubs and 115 gymnasts from Sacramento to Roseville to Auburn and Rancho Cordova competed at the qualifying meet.
