Baltimore, MD - July 16, 2025 - After making waves in Miami, Baltimore’s Bas Melech Gymnastics Team traveled to Lakewood, NJ, for the Empower Summer Stars Meet last month. And, once again, left their mark!
Weeks of dedicated training, extra practice hours, and countless run-throughs paid off as the team secured placements across every category: beam, floor, bars, and all-around. Beyond the medals, the weekend was filled with energy, teamwork, and genuine support for one another. The girls encouraged each other through nerves and celebrated each win, big or small!
