We are back from our 3rd level 6 meet. 7:15 report time Sat am. Very early. The meet went well and dd was so excited for it.
Vault 8.65 - up from the first two meets. Her vault is inconsistant, but she did a very nice one at the meet. Thank god.
Bars 7.25 - dd is "bars challenged". but making great impovements. Her score improved from 6.55 and 7.15. She connected the whole upper bar routine and had straight arms on all three kips. This is huge for her. She is so proud.
Beam- 8.65 she loves beam. She did the most beautiful routine... until the full turn. It was one of the huge wobbles that looked impossible to save. She stayed on and was over time. Coach told her would have been a 9.2 without the wobble and overtime. But that is beam.
Floor- 8.9- up from 8.55. I am not sure if you will remember, but I posted her last floor and tried to have everyone guess her score. This routine was very pretty.
As for medals, they went out 5 places in her age group. She got 5th on vault, beam and floor. They went out 7 AA and she got 7th place.
I told her she should play the lottery with how lucky she was to get so many medals.
One more thought on medals. DD had a good day on all 4 events. Not a great day on any of them. But solid performance. Her awards group was given out last and everyone on her team won at least one medal. I got so worried that she would be the only one not to get a medal on her team. I was hoping that she was not upset. But still felt she did well. Anyway, then the awards ceremony and she won 4 medals. I was relieved, but I don't like how this sport makes you feel like you did better if you win medals. We had a long talk on the way home about how she should be just as proud of her scores regardless of medals. But even as an adult, it makes you feel like your child did better when they win medals. It makes me crazy because I try and down play medals to her, but then I find myself wanting her to win them. Do you all know what I mean?
