A 17-year-old Jacksonville Beach gymnast was one of only 20 picked across the country in his age group to compete in the men’s gymnastics national championship in Oklahoma City.
Matthew Janson, the only one on his Junior Development SEGA Gymnastics team who qualified, left Thursday for the competition. SEGA Gymnastics practices out of the Beaches Gymnastics facility.
Matthew Janson has been doing gymnastics at SEGA for almost seven years, and before that, he gave his all to taekwondo. “I don’t think there’s ever been a time where we haven’t been in awe of everything he’s doing,” Matthew’s mother, Liza Janson said.Matthew took home first place in his first-ever gymnastics competition, so he’s always excelled in the sport.
