For 29 years, the LI Classic has been a cornerstone of New York gymnastics, setting the standard for excellence, innovation, and integrity.
Originally launched in 1996 as one of only three designated NY State Qualifiers, the meet pioneered New York’s now-preferred meet format, 100% athlete recognition, introduced the original WOW Award, and became known for exceptional coach and judge hospitality. Last year we inaugurated the prestigious and wildly popular LI Classic Queen honor.
Founded and still organized by Bill and Dawn Borges, the LI Classic is now the only major meet in New York that is not affiliated with a private gymnastics club- ensuring true transparency, fairness, and an outstanding competitive experience for every athlete.
