Hi all! Well she made it through her first level 6 meet! It was very long and I think we finally got done with awards around 10:30 p.m. Emma did a great job! She pushed back her fears of the robhs bt, and flyaway, and went for it all. She needs some spit and polish, but not bad considering her beam/floor coach has been gone for over two weeks, and HC was gone for a week prior to their first meet. Beam/Bar coach was not back in time for the meet.
Here it goes:
First up Bars - 8.95 4th place. Scoring was so close. First place was only a 9.10
Beam- 9.0 did not place. Well, She stayed on! Lots of bobbles, and coach said she lost .5 on her crazy dismount but, all in all, I am thrilled!
Floor- 8.90 did not place. She stubbed her toe on the leap series. I guess her tumbling needs more amplitude, but MOM thought it was beautiful and should have gotten higher! To bad mom is not the judge!
Vault- 8.80 did not place. She always struggles with her vault. However, again I am no judge, but MOM thought it was awesome!
AA 35.65 tied for 10th place. This was out of 34 girls 7-11. She was definitely in the very small minority of 8 year olds. Maybe two?........ and no 7 year olds.
The team did awesome. They placed 2nd! Emma was exhausted, but definitely thrilled and proud that she had done all her skills! Coach was very proud of her as well. He even told me that she wouldn't even let him spot her at all in warm ups! We did not even get home until almost 2 a.m.! What a night!
Anyhow, thanks to all of you for your good luck wishes, vibes, and Chillin'fairies! Next meet in 3 weeks!
