Hawai'i trampoline gymnasts Nani Vercruyssen and Kelsen Onigama won their respective age divisions in the All-Japan Double Mini-Trampoline Championships last week in Kaminoyama, Japan.

Vercruyssen, a U.S. junior elite national champion and age group world champion, was first in her age division (15) and was the overall women's champion.

Onigama, a three-time U.S. national champion, finished first in his age group (12) and second overall in the men's division.

The pair will next compete in the Aalsmeer Flower Cup in the Netherlands and in the Flemish National Double Mini-Trampoline Championships in Belgium.
