Otago has named a 33-strong team to contest the 2010 national gymsport championships in Hamilton later this month.
The province's best prospects are in the rhythmic gymnastics disciplines.
Mikaela Walsh won the level seven rhythmic title last year and also was first overall in the club A division at the 2010 national secondary school gymsport championships two weeks ago.
She is one of the brightest medal prospects and will compete at level eight this year, alongside Dale Hurring and Sarah Morrison.
Level five gymnast Rosie Hardie came second in the level four competition and has also been performing well this year.
American exchange student Tim Michaels has had some great results and should do well in the level nine men's artistic competition.
Men's coach Andrew Adams said Hamish Johnson and Tom Cushnie would push for individual apparatus medals.
The championships are at Mystery Creek from September 24-28.
