9-year-old Williams Lake athlete shows determination, dedication

This nine-year-old is sitting out on gymnastics provincials this year to compete at the Indoor Rodeo

Presleigh Schwartz is a very determined —and accomplished— nine-year-old.

Presleigh set a record for the Cariboo Chilcotin Gymnastics club this year, achieving a perfect 10 score in competition for her performance of a balance beam routine.

"She blows me away every day," said Tyler Schwartz, Presleigh's proud dad, who said he had to miss the record-setting gymnastics competition to look after things at home that weekend.

"I've never seen someone with so much determination and pride in what she does," he said of his daughter.
