Rhythmic gymnastics

Rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic sport that combines the beauty of ballet, dance and gymnastics in choreographed routines with apparatuses such as ribbon, ball, rope, clubs and hoop. The sport made an immediate impact after it was introduced to Miami by Miami Gymnastics & Dance Academy in 2008.

A critical part of MGDA’s success in Rhythmic Gymnastics is reflected in the recruiting of elite coaches from throughout the world including Daria Trakhtenberg who is the current head coach of the MGDA rhythmic team, based in North Miami.

Trakhtenberg is a world renowned rhythmic gymnastics coach. She has coached Israeli national champions -- groups and individuals. Many of the athletes she coached represented their countries at World Cups and European Championships. She is also a certified international judge in rhythmic gymnastics.

In the past several years, Trakhtenberg has played a leading role in the development of MGDA’s rhythmic team. Since 2010, she has led the team to many victories in national and international meets. Her achievements and the progression of her athletes have been remarkable.

MGDA has earned a distinguished reputation in developing young top level gymnasts. Since 2010, when coach Trakhtenberg joined Miami Gymnastics, the girls won medals at the most popular tournaments: Suncoast Sport Festival, International Star Cup, Gold Coast International Cup and many others.

Trakhtenberg`s gymnasts participated in the Spring Fling International Tournament in Ohio – the biggest event in USA Rhythmic Gymnastics history. The participants were from throughout the world, and Miami Gymnastics girls medaled.

“We are extremely pleased to have Daria as our head coach,” said Natalia Pyrig, owner of Miami Gymnastics & Dance Academy. “Her ability to create elite gymnasts, the many tournaments she has won and her dedication to coaching can be attributed to Miami Gymnastics continuing success.”

Gymnasts, coached by Trakhtenberg, also became Florida state champions and Region 6 champions:

Elli Hong – Florida Level 3 (Ball Routine) silver medalist, All Around Region 6 silver medalist. Valentina Guerrero – Florida All Around Level 4 silver medalist and Region 6 All Around silver medalist, winner of special regional award, scholarship to Junior Olympics Open Championship. Nerea Francis – Florida Level 6 All Around champion and Region 6 All Around gold medalist. Valentina Sola – Florida Level 6 All Around silver medalist and Region 6 silver medalist (floor and hoop routines). Sophia Petreanu – Region 6 All Around Level 6 silver medalist, winner of special regional award, scholarship to Junior Olympics Open Championship. Halyna Hnatkiv – Florida Level 7 Absolute All Around champion.

Claudia Mandado – gymnast of the highest international FIG Level 9, twice Florida gold medalist (hoop and ball routines), twice bronze medalist (ribbon and clubs routines), Florida All Around silver medalist, twice Region 6 silver medalist (ribbon and clubs routines), twice Region bronze medalist (hoop and ball routines); Region 6 All Around bronze medalist.

Hammocks basketball

The Hammocks Middle School girls’ basketball team went 6-0 to win the Zone 6 Championship for the first time in school history.

The Lady Canes then defeated W. R. Thomas Middle School 47-17 in the first round of the playoffs. G.W. Carver Middle School beat them 37-17 in the second round.

Hammocks finished 7-1.

The talented team features Cassandra Iglesias, Lisbeth Garcia, Denica Jones, Rachel Brant, Esmeralda Del Rio, Samantha Polanco, Natasha Polanco, Valentina Velez, K’lia McIntyre, Andrea Nieto, Kelly Nguyen, Natalia Pineda, Kaesha Wooley and Samantha Almeida. The coach is Richard Reed.

Boxing

North Miami’s Jose “The Thing” Valenzuela, a promising amateur boxer, is rising through the ranks at a rapid pace. With just three years in the sport, the 16-year-old has already achieved success because of his hard work and keeping off the streets.

Valenzuela won the Florida PAL Championships, 2012 Junior Olympic Golden Gloves and the 2012 Southeast Junior Olympics regionals. He is currently training to represent Florida in the 2012 Junior Olympics national championships in Alabama.

Tennis

Miami’s Eric Hechtman won the men’s singles championship at the US Open Playoffs-Florida Tournament. He defeated former No.174-ranked ATP player Ryler DeHeart in the finals 6-4, 7-5 at the Henry L. McMullen Tennis Complex in Clearwater.

“My biggest key was trying not to drop a set going into the final, because I knew I needed something left in the tank for Ryler,” said the 28-year-old Hechtman, born and raised in Miami.

Hechtman, the junior tennis director at Royal Palm Tennis Club in Pinecrest, said he was too busy coaching to train coming into the event, but said, “I feel that I have a chance [at the national event], if I train.”

Hechtman beat Florida Gulf Coast University sophomore Tianyu Bao 6-4, 7-5 in the semifinals, and in the quarterfinals topped Florida State University sophomore Dominic Cotrone 6-1, 7-6 (7-4). DeHeart gained the final by upsetting No.1 seed and former NCAA doubles champion Jeff Dadamo 6-4, 6-4 in the semis.

“The US Open Playoffs idea is awesome,” Hechtman said. “If someone were to come out of the playoffs and then qualify for the US Open, what a storyline that would be.”

Hechtman will represent USTA Florida at the US Open National Playoffs at Yale University in New Haven. The winner earns a wildcard into the US Open Qualifying Tournament, the week before the US Open.

In his teen years, Hechtman helped lead Sunset High School to three state titles. He was a four-time Miami Herald All-Dade selection and a Miami Herald Scholar Athlete finalist.

As the No.3 recruited player in the nation heading into college, Hechtman opted for the University of Miami where he was the Hurricanes’ team captain three years. He still holds the school’s record for most all-time wins. He has also served as hitting partner for tour players such as Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Venus and Serena Williams.

“Recognizing the individuals and organizations that have made a significant impact on the South Florida community is something the Orange Bowl takes great pride in,” said Eric Poms, CEO, Orange Bowl Committee. “From scholastic accomplishments to exceptional community service, everyone honored at the O.B.I.E.s understands the importance of supporting and promoting our youth to ensure they have the brightest future possible.”

All-American Bowl

Fifty six of Florida’s top senior football players have been nominated to play in the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 5, 2013 in the annual East vs. West match-up, televised live on NBC at 1 p.m. EST from San Antonio’s Alamodome.

The 56 nominations are the most of any state. Eight of those are from Miami.

“The U.S. Army All-American Bowl provides the national platform for young athletes and musicians to showcase their talent and strength,” said Bruce Jasurda, Chief Marketing Officer, U.S. Army. “This nomination recognizes the mental, emotional and physical strengths and leadership qualities that these athletes possess both on and off the field; qualities they share with Army Strong Soldiers. The Army congratulates all of the athletes on their nomination.”

The athletes were nominated by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, which consists of All American Games’ network of regional coaches throughout the country and Rivals.com. Of the 400 nominees, 90 will ultimately be selected and invited to the Bowl.

The next step for the nominees occurs in September, when the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Tour begins. Final player selections will be announced nationwide throughout the fall, with the Selection Tour ending in early December.

Miami nominees include:

DB Artie Burns (Northwestern); DB Jamal Carter (Southridge); OL Denver Kirkland (Booker T. Washington); LB Isaac McDonald (Champagnat Catholic); LB Matthew Thomas (Booker T. Washington); DL Stacy Thomas (Gulliver Prep); DB Jesus Wilson (Christopher Columbus); RB Lorenzo Woodley (Christopher Columbus).

For more than a decade, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl has been the nation’s premier high school football game, serving as the preeminent launching pad for America’s future college and NFL stars. Adrian Peterson, Andrew Luck, Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, and Marcus Lattimore made their national debuts as U.S. Army All-Americans.

The 2012 U.S. Army All-American Bowl drew a crowd of more than 39,000 to the Alamodome, and was the most-watched sporting event on television over the weekend, excluding the NFL playoffs.

The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is owned and produced by All American Games, a New Jersey-based sports marketing and event management company. The U.S. Army is the title sponsor of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, and American Family Insurance is the lead national sponsor and presenting sponsor of the telecast on NBC.

Attendees included the Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh, Head Coach Joe Philbin and Davone Bess of the Miami Dolphins, ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit, Howard Schnellenberger (FAU) and Mario Cristobal (FIU), among many others.

Health program

Stand Up! For Those Who Can’t, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children, families and communities through (w)holistic programs in education, culture and the arts, and as fiscal agent for the Sunshine Child Wellness Collaborative, has received a $50,000 grant from the Aetna Foundation to implement “Sunshine Fit for Tots,” an obesity-prevention program developed by SCWC for 3-year-old children.

“One in five preschool-age children in the United States are overweight or obese. We recognize the need to start prevention at the earliest age possible to promote lifelong habits of health and wellness,” said Mary Rae Smith, president and founder of SCWC. “We want to bend the curve on childhood obesity and are grateful to the Aetna Foundation for this opportunity to enhance obesity prevention through exercise and nutrition programming.”

Through March 2013, 60 children from four early childhood centers in Miami-Dade will receive nutritional education and obesity-prevention activities through art classes and dance lessons. The centers selected to receive the program are Fantasyland Learning Center in Westchester; Happy Kids in Miami Beach; Happy Children of Overtown; and Alberto’s Dream Childcare in North Miami.

“We thank the Aetna Foundation for awarding us this grant,” said Jeannette Egozi, president of SUFTWC. “In the United States, low-income families are the most affected by the alarming obesity trend. With these funds we can teach children how to eat healthfully and be physically active throughout their lives.”

For information about “Sunshine Fit for Tots” call the Sunshine Child Wellness Collaborative at 305-807-5229 or Stand Up! at 305-864-5237, e-mail jeannette@ecqc.biz.
