...out of the park!
DD's 2nd L6 meet went better. She finished 3rd AA, w/ a score of 36.125. A highlight for her was earning 1st place on Vault w/ a score of 9.55. She feels good about that, as vault was her worst event last year.
Quite a different AA score from her first meet (31.2). She (and I) felt the judges at this meet were being a bit generous w/ the scores, but we both agreed that it was sure nice to get them anyway (I had to explain to her the phrase, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth")!
I think her "true" AA score lies somewhere in between the two, & it will just depend on the meet, the judges etc.
I was kind of scratching my head & chuckling :scratchchin:, b/c while I thought her routines probably had improved a little, her event scores were all about 1 to 1.5 points higher than her last meet. Bizarre sport, this! :boggled:
She got lucky w/ the 3rd place AA, too. She was up against a few girls from some pretty fancy teams, who were looking REALLY good. A little fall here & there on their part, and that door opened right-up for DD to squeeze her little bootie in that line-up. Lucky her!
The girls on her team were all really sweet to each other, and I am very proud of all of them for that. :applause:
Thanks for all the good wishes & support here!
