So my kid has never been a top-of-the podium kind of girl. She has always struggled and frequently watched as her friends passed by her in levels and getting tons of medals. She spent most of last year injured and didn't qualify for regionals (L8) after a not-so-great states.
So she did a 2nd year of L8 this year. She did OK at states (3rd on beam, no other medals) and qualified for regionals.
Well....she had her best meet of the season and probably her career at regionals this weekend! First time to ever get all 9s in a single meet. Highest AA score ever with a 36.6. Highest floor score of the season. It finally all came together for her.
I know there are some extremely talented gymnasts on this board and my dd isn't at that level, but it was so nice to see her so happy with her performance. She actually wanted me to take pictures of her and post videos on FB.
So, I hope you don't mind me sharing my excitement by posting her videos here.
She had a 36.6 All Around which gave her 5th place in the region!
