PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad — When Portsmouth's
Atlantic Gymnastics owner and coach Tony Retrosi traveled to Trinidad in
2009 to conduct a safety certification course for 32 local coaches, he
did not imagine he would return someday to the island nation with a
group of his own gymnasts.
Several families committed, but it was not until Joe and Denise Toshach,
of Arundel, Maine, agreed to go that Retrosi could give the trip the
green light. The Toshachs would be traveling to Trinidad with five
children, four of whom would be competing at the meet. The Toshachs'
eldest daughter, Julia (13), competed at Level 6 and earned a third
place all-around finish. Three of four quadruplet siblings — Sarah,
Elizabeth and Grace (11) — competed Level 5, with Grace finishing second
in the all-around, Elizabeth posting four solid scores for all the
apparatus, and Sarah placing on beam.
