Finally - 1st meet of the season.. I can't believe it took so long to get here! After the injury prone fall Beetle had, I was really nervous for her this meet. I knew she wanted to have a good meet, as a 2nd year level 8. She has worked so hard to come back from these injuries. A few months...
Midget had her 2nd to last meet Sunday in the UAGL league which is a non-sanctioned relaxed meet. Several of you may recall this is the meet that has the fun announcer that likes to tease the girls a bit during the awards.
We were really looking forward to this one since it is so low key and...
Hi Everyone,
We had our second meet on Saturday 1/9/10. Going into this meet, DD was a little frustrated. Last year she never qualified to States. This year, she was the ONLY kid who hadn't made it over the vault table without a spot. In all honesty, she should have done a year of devo at...
Have you ever been to a meet where the team awards were based on the total sum of all competing athletes?
It doesn't seem fair or logical and I never saw it done this way before. A team of 6 doesn't really have any chance against a team of 12 - no matter what the scores
Jess did good and...
Dd had her first T&T meet this weekend! After competing Artistic for 4 years, she was QUITE nervous, as she did not know what to expect. She was real jittery on her 1st event, but said after that, she felt much more relaxed. She had a great meet, and really enjoyed the day!
The scores probably...

Okay let's start with my level 6:)
State was the weekend of Dec 12/13 here in Nebraska.
Emily's group was once again the toughest age group for the level 6s.
Emily started Floor...Warmups... you guessed it...didn't go very well at all.
Stress was bringing back her roundoff bhs mental blocks...
So Olivia participated in the New Year's Invite in Disney World. We went up New Year's Eve and the gym hosted a "party" at the hotel. All the girls of all levels hung out and had a great time!!!
On friday the girls had practice at the meet spot. It was a 2.5 hour timed practice with all...
Hi Everyone,
I don't post all that often, but really wanted to post our meet report from my DD's 1st level 5 meet. Unfortunately, my mother whose has had some health issues following a fall in October suffered a 3rd heart attack and very bad stroke on the Tuesday following the meet. She died...
Well we had our third level 6 meet report. I will start by saying I wasn't expecting great things given our family holiday party was Saturday and dd was playing with friends and cousins at party all day. We had to sneak out right after dinner for our 5pm check in. So I was pleased by the...
I have to say I could not be prouder of my dd. She has been battling major bhs on beam fear for about 6 weeks. So her beam practice has consisted of waiting for someone to spot her on the low beam and practicing her bhs on the floor. Anyway she was making progress on that when she witness a...
It was a team Exhibition,so no scores.The goal was to make each routine without any falls or major mistakes.
I think she did pretty good.Great floor routine.Vault was good too-same as last year.Bars was watered down.Started on highbar and made her overshoot from a handstand which is new this...
Fortunately the boy was over it by about 10 AM. not sure what got him, but he never had a fever or anything. So we went down there ( they have a huge play area you can drop your kids off during the meet for $5 and it's supervised, so that worked out) My DH was done with the consultant early...
Thank goodness that is over with!! I KNOW I was more nervous than she was! First Beetle was angry because we got stuck in traffic, our gym is close to the big retail district in town, well... Friday afternoon in December? Everyone was heading to the Mall and Target!
Onto the meet.
Vault -...
So we had some good, some bad and some real ugly. Some over zealous judges too.
I'll start with Bitty Baby Bog, BBB from now on.
Floor 11.6
She did a great job, coach thought she scored very low, needs to finish her skills a bit better
Bars 10.15
Some legs apart, only girl to do flyaway...
Little DD (5 years old) had another in-house meet tonight...started at 7:30pm...after a full day of school and 2 hours of practice!:eek: She needed a 36AA to move up from level 2 to level 4 (this is what our gym does with certain young gymmies). This was her 5th meet as a level 2 so I...
First let me say it was so great meeting fellow CBers flippersmom and swiftli at the meet this weekend. It made things a little less painful! :o
I've heard that the judging at this meet has always been tough. Found out that the one floor judges was a technical judge or something, for...
We survived another meet, not without some crazy excitment!
Today there were 3 girls to make up our little team. There were supposed to be 4, but one girl scratched due to a death in the family. Dd was definitely the anchor of the team, the other 2 girls it was their first level 8 meet and...
First of all I must say I am so proud if my DD and her teammates, they did awesome.
DD did very well. I was hoping she would finish in the top half of her age group and she did!! There were 21 girls in her age group. They gave out medals to 11th.
She also had her personal best floor and...
Started off on beam . . . . looked good . . .solid 9.0
Off to Floor . . . . An amazing 9.6 . . . new personal high score ! ! !
The Vault . . . .the dreaded Vault. She almost got pulled last weekend after limping on vault due to a hurt foot . . . all decked out in new vault shoes to help...
