REXBURG — The first female Junior Olympian from Madison Gymnastics Center will compete in the floor, beam, vault and bars events at the Western Championships Saturday in Sandy, Utah. Charity Hepworth, 15, recently qualified for the competition during a regional meet in Seattle. Charity placed fourth all around, and along with some six other top athletes in her age division that will be representing Region 2 during the Western Championship. “I tried really hard. I put a lot of dedication into it,” Charity said. Head girls team coach Valerie Gardner said boys have a chance to qualify for nationals at a lower level because of less competition among the gender.
