Ok so it is crunch time for DD now on bars. :)We officially know that the first meet will be January 10th at the U of M Gopher Invite Session 2. We are very fortunate that we have a small session only 57 gymnasts total only 21 are Level 7's so it should be less overwhelming than last year at...
Daughter had a really good first meet. She got 33.5 AA she came in 5th place AA and also I think she qualified for states. A year makes a big difference, this is her second year as a level 4 and her form is so much better, she has all her skills. I am glad that she got another year to really...
Today I had my first hs meet. There were eight teams there, so it was a bigger meet then I thought it was going to be. We started on beam and I kind of had a meltdown...:( I was the first to go which kind of made me mad, but I fell on my full and one and a half turn. I decieded to take my double...
So i had my first meet of this year. It was just an intersquad meet, but we had real judges and everything.
I competed my tuck tsuk for the first time ever after working on it for 4 years (YAY!!) and i landed on my feet (not my face like practice) and i was really happy!! I got a 9.0!!

My DD as many of you know will be a second year Level7 this year. She is great with that last year she was the only Level 7. Her skills look good except for Bars.
On beam she added a new series, vault she always likes, floor she changed her routine up a little.
Her bars area another...
I competed all events, the Coach lied to me, and told me to compete all 4 at the last minute, which is a subject to get into later!
Results:
Vault: 8.550 [4th Place]
(Pretty good for me.)
Bars: 7.300 [5th Place]
(Had a terrible warm-up, crying throughout the whole thing, my hands felt like...
This will be my first Level 7 meet, and I was wondering if I could get some 'Good Luck' so I won't be so nervous? I'm only competing floor and vault, so that's good. No worries over Beam. I'm not sure if Gymnasts are allowed to request fairies or if that's just the parents (Still fairly new...
So Bigger Bog Baby, 12, has her first meet on Saturday. This is her first meet in two years where she is not battling injury. (Though she did fall of the bathroom counter on Friday and has a big bruise there :eek:)
She has stayed in the same level, but has gone up an age group, so she will be...

Crazy weekend. I am just glad it is over and out of the way! Since dd has never even had a real meet practice run through, I had no idea what to expect from her. She surprised me by how much she knew to do. I could not have been a...
HELP!!
DD is stressing herself way way way out over her first meet. it's this Friday. She's L3. She picked up gymnastics earlier this year as something to do in soccer's offseason, decided to try out for the team, made it, and started team practice in June. The other girls in her group...
After all these years of watching her sisters, my 6-year-old finally had her first meet yesterday at Level 4. She asked me to share it with the Chalk Bucket!

Juju had her very first meet this past weekend and had a blast! She was even more thrilled when she got 5 medals! She just turned 6 and is competing at level 4. She did not do as well as she could have, but I am still very proud of her. We mainly wanted her to have fun at this point with her...

Going into the competition I felt good. I was prepaired, my coach and I had worked really hard, and I was exicted because this was the first time I would do all my new routines for all four of the apprateuses. (sorry if i...
