This will be a quick report, while it's still sort of fresh in my mind. I left Sunday for Denmark on business and just got home today.
Kelsey, had her first Level 8 meet on Sat 8am report time. She is my no-confidence-doesn't-want-to-work-hard girl, however, I was proud of the fact that she held a really good handstand on low bar, did her pirouette, and her giant, giant flyaway. She stayed on the beam but did not get her series connection. She didn't qualify for Sectionals but I think she definitely could have if she had pushed herself a bit more.
Little Monkey's report time was 3:30 pm Sunday. I was already at the airport and getting play by play text messages from DH and 2 team moms. First up was beam and she stuck her BWO, 8.80 (8th place). Fx - 8.85 (5th place), Vault 9.1 (8th place).....and bars.....
Well, bars deserves its own paragraph, lol..... remember this is my girl who had been scoring 6's and 7's, finally made an 8 about 2 wks ago. She has been working really hard on her squat on and her baby giant. This week however, she fell on her dismount (last swing not high enough) and got 8.5!!!! That was 8th place. I just watched the video and she probably had a deduction on her squat on because she stayed on a few seconds too long before jumping to hb. The baby giant looked great! She placed 7th in the AA. Video to come ...
