Well, my dd survived (barely) her first Level 7 meet! That was really all I was hoping for so we will call it a success.
The team started on bars. Lily had someting of a disastrous bar set. After a terrible warmup, she fell twice. Went over on her high bar cast and then sat down on her layout dismount (which I and the coach knew would happen). Despite this, got an 8.225. She was very upset and crying after bars but she got it back together.
She had a pretty nice beam routine. No falls, just a few wobbles. 9.25.
On to floor. We had all sorts of issues with the music and she had to start her routine twice. Thought it was a good routine. Layout not so hot and steps out of that, but the rest pretty decent. Score was an 8.9. She was mad she didn't get a 9, but she made it through the routine without major mistakes so it's all good.
Vault. The caveat here is vault scoring was lenient - my dd is not a vaulter. She was thrilled with a 9.175. First 9 ever on the fhs vault.
AA - 35.55 Child age group (11 and under??) with some insanely talented kids in it. First was 38.2 - at the FIRST meet of the season?! Wow! Lily placed on beam (5th) and they were generous with the AA medals so she got one there too - something like 12th. Our little team was third with five girls (compared to something like 15 on the 1st and 2nd place teams). Hopefully things will improve from here - at least on bars!
I got video of beam and floor, which is here:
