St. Valentine's Classic 2010 - A Success!

2 days.
18 sessions.
Over 1100 gymnasts.
Over 47,000 photos.

That is the numeric summary of the St. Valentine's Classic 2010, held at the (new) Lake County Fairgrounds building in Grayslake, IL, on February 6th and 7th. The host gym, Gymnastics Spot, put on a great meet, and smiles were on everyones' faces. Well, OK, many of the gymnasts were concentrating so hard on sticking their landing that perhaps a smile wasn't on it at that time, but once they finished their apparatus, the smile came out!

Generally, I list all the gyms that participated, but that would be a long, long list. Suffice it to say that On Your Mark Photography was there in force, with 6 photographers, capturing the moments for both girls and boys gymnastics.

In fact, the photos can be found here. And until February 24th, the onsite CD special of $50 will be honored online as well, so order now to save $20!

On Your Mark Photography is excited to announce that they will be providing exclusive action photography for the 2010 St. Valentine's Classic gymnastics meet hosted by Gymnastics Spot and held at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake, IL, on Feb 6th through 7th.


With approximately 1200 gymnasts on three gyms, we're certain that the cheering will be loud and the scores high! In addition to both boys and girls gymnastics, Special Olympics gymnasts will also be competing on Sunday.

As always, On Your Mark Photography will provide multiple photographers with onsite viewstations during the meet. Within a few days, the expected 45,000 photos will also be available online on the days following. Check back here later to check for online status.

Due to the fact that only 3 viewstations would fit in the lobby, we will be extending our $50 CD special online until February 14th. We hope this will help make up for the issue of not enough viewstations.

• American Academy of Gymnastics
  
• Arena Gymnastics
  
• Buffalo Grove Gymnastics Center

• Palatine Park District Gymnastics
