Every gymnast in Country Gymnastics qualified for the regional meet after the Sterling program’s results at its June 20 Gymstarz Meet. The team’s final regular-season meet was Friday, and the regional berth pushed the season into mid-July, giving Logan County families another competitive stop to follow.

Country Gymnastics operates at 11459 County Road 33 in Sterling and lists a local phone number, (970) 522-7565, underscoring that the program is a fixed part of the town’s youth-sports network. USA Gymnastics says its Xcel program was developed as an alternative competitive pathway with a focus on sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork and fun, and its development program says the competitive year runs from Aug. 1 through July 31. Within that structure, Levels 6 and 7 can continue through state and, depending on the region, regional championships.

That calendar matters for families because the regional meet does not end the summer stretch, it extends it. USA Gymnastics lists the 2026 U.S. Classic for July 17-18 and the 2026 USA Gymnastics Championships for Aug. 6-9, a sign that the sport’s biggest competitions cluster in the heart of the summer. For parents, that can mean more travel days, more time away from home routines and another round of meet preparation after the regular season has already closed.

Country Gymnastics has shown that pipeline before. In 2021, five gymnasts from the program competed at the summer state tournament July 16-17 at Ponderosa High School, and two brought home first-place finishes. That kind of result gives the current regional qualification a longer context: Sterling is not just producing one-off meet performances, it is sending athletes deeper into postseason competition year after year.

For a program rooted on County Road 33, putting every gymnast into regionals is a clean measure of consistency. It means the training hours, the attendance and the meet-day preparation all lined up at once, and it leaves Country Gymnastics with a full roster still competing when the summer schedule reaches its busiest point.
