OK here is goes the report of the mock meet that DD had last Friday night. It did not go as I expected, but hey it did not count--we got comments and the girls have 2 weeks to correct things for the real thing.
Beam was up first. Wobbles, short scale and non held dismount. Comments from the judge consisted of rocking horse split leap, and not holding her scale. She was in good company with the rest of the team. The judge commented to her coach that almost everyone did not hold their scale. Coaches comment--I know I can only harp so much. So now we have the scale song that goes something like this: O-M-G I better count 1-2-3 or coach will squish me. Bug assures me even if you say it fast you will still hold the scale for long enough time. SCORE 8.8
Floor was next. A big wobble, not big enough split jump and dragging back leg on split leap. Comments talked about nice tumbling, and needing more height on jumps and leaps and also a flexed foot (I think on the split jump)
SCORE 8.9
Vault comments were run!, but nice body form. SCORE 9.4
Bars was last with the hardest judge in the state "Judge Judy" OK so you can think of who the little girls first thought of when she was mentioned. We have actually had her in the gym twice working on floor and beam with the girls. Last year at the beginning of the season, we had multiple mill circles. Bug finally learned to hit the brakes mid way thru the season and when she did got all 9's. (9.2 to 9.5) so I had great expectations for this score. Well she did not get there. I was told that on the cut back if the girls had a belly on the bar it was a 0.3 deduction. Also she really wanted a high push up on the beginning and end of the mill circle fo that was .2 before and .2 after. Bug was lacking on that. SCORE 8.9--but hey up from the 8.175 she got from her the second meet last year.
AA 36.0 Hoping she can get those few tenths back on each event and get to the 37 level. That is what is winning meets here this season in her age group.
