I didn't get to go to the meet, so didn't get to meet gym_monkey! i'm bummer. My DS actually hurt his knee skiing on Friday and had to have surgery Saturday--got home Sunday and had to stay with him, so I missed the meet. DH went though.
He was NOT happy about the meet set-up. It was at a different location than previous years and apparently the seating was awful--DH and his parents weren't able to sit at all (and for $10 admission per person, they expected a seat--even if the view wasn't great). Not sure why they switched from the other site--it had great seating there!
In any case, Beth did well--although most of the girls on her team didn't. Started on floor where she got a 9.25--her highest score of the year and the highest score on her team (that's never happened--she's typically one of the lower scores for her team on floor). Vault she again led her team with a 9.075. Bars--she tied with one of her teammates (the one she usually goes neck-and-neck with for results)--with a 9.4 and on beam she got a 9.2.
Ended up with 5th on floor, 4th on vault, 1st on bars, 6th on beam and 1st AA for her age group (and she was in the 11-12 yr old group which had 33 girls, so much bigger than usual). So she was happy for herself, but bummed for her teammates, since they didn't do well.
Next meet is in Tampa, Florida! Looking forward to warmth already .
