Caty Chung of Cupertino nailed an impressive 37.900 in the all-around competition to win the Level 8 title at the State Gymnastics Championships.

Chung, the Level 7 champ a year ago, was first on the uneven bars and in the floor exercise, second on the balance beam and third in the vault as she led Airborne Gymnastics to the team championship. Her all-around school was the best in the competition for all age groups.

Chung, a student at Blue Hills Elementary School, was one of three girls from Cupertino district schools to place in the event for Airborne. Kelsey Hoag of Miller Middle School was first on the floor and fourth in the all-around in her age group, and Jenna Yee of Hyde Middle School was fourth in the all-around in her division.

But virtue of her state all-around championship, Chung will now advance to the regional championships.
