Well, we didn't find any takers on those three empty seats on the plane, LOL (we had a lot of turbulence on the way home, so it might not have been good to have extra passengers anyway...don't know that they would have flown with us after that )
First event was vault...9.375 (it was really pretty, IMHO) no medal
Second event, bars (usually her best event) 9.025 and that was with a stuck landing. No medal
third event-Beam very nice routine. 9.2 she got a 6th
Last event, floor (not usually her best event) 9.35, three way tie for the gold, but DD had the highest AA of the three, so she got the gold :floor::applause::thumbsup:
Her AA was 36.95. They only went out 5 places...one or two more and she would have been right in there, I think. There were 20 girls in her age group.
All in all, she was pretty happy, but I know she's frustrated that she didn't do better on bars and beam. she missed AA by .6. We weren't disappointed in her though. She still gets to put her name on the banner in the gym with the state champions, and in two weeks she finally gets to compete level 5, which has been her focus of most of this year.
We called grandma on the way home...she was ecstatic
thanks for letting me gush!
