Hill House year 7 pupil Jack Jones, has emerged triumphant in the prestigious Pipers Vale Challenge held in Ipswich, despite competing as an under-16 in a field where he was the youngest contender.

The competition, renowned nationwide, gathered gymnasts from across the country to showcase their skills across six challenging pieces. Jack's performance was exceptional, earning him the title of the 2024 All-Around U16 Champion.

Jack was awarded gold medals in three events: Parallel Bar, High Bar, and Floor. His floor routine not only secured him the top spot but also earned him the highest individual score of the entire competition, a testament to his talent and hard work.

While his success was evident across the board, Jack also demonstrated grace under pressure. Despite facing an awkward landing on his ankle during the Vault event, he managed to persevere without sustaining any injuries, showcasing his resilience and commitment.

Jack also secured silver medals in Pommel and Rings events, rounding off an impressive display of gymnastic talent.

Director of Sport at Hill House, Mrs Katie Vickers, exclaimed how proud she was of Jack. "His dedication, talent, and unwavering determination have brought fantastic success to Jack. His remarkable achievement serves as a shining example of what can be accomplished through hard work and passion. We are immensely proud of Jack and look forward to witnessing his continued success in the world of gymnastics."
