Hi everyone! Well States didn't go as planned, she didn't make it to Regionals, but she did earn a trip to the emergency room. There was I believe 39 girls and placements went out 10 places.
She started on bars. Her warm ups were gorgeous, she was first up beautiful lower bar and then fell...
Our state meet was this weekend and we have two happy girls in the house.:o DD2 - L7 went on Saturday - started on bars 9.5 - 1st place, beam - 8.95 - didnt hold handstand - 4th, floor 9.6 - 1st place and lastly vault 9.45 - 1st place, All Around - 37.5 - 1st place - State Champion!!:p She says...
Well, she froggy leaped the vault, but other than that she did great. Wasn't dd's best meet result wise, but she had two personal bests for the season and everyone on her team did absolutely fantastic. The also team took 1st and then we all went out and had a great team dinner. We arrived home...
I really have to say that DD did okay, all things considered.
She learned all the routines in 2 weeks, and she did her first vault without a spot over the table in WARM UP at the meet. I'm not saying it was pretty, but she wasn't the worst one there.
On the floor she did okay...this was the...
We had another Level 5 sectional today. Little Monkey qualified last time, so this was just "practice" for her. She asked her daddy if he would buy her Wii fit if she scored 36.0 LOL.
Well...she didn't....but her AA was 34.475.
Vault - 8.625 - PERSONAL BEST :D
Bars - 7.7 - got her squat on...

Well it was her 2nd meet, some improvements and some weird judging stuff. There were some very irate coaches at the meet, unusual for here, but the scores were all over the place. Drunk perhaps???

Bars 11.4
Beam 9.4

Dd had her 3rd Level 8 Sectional this past Sunday. It was held in a gym that was 1.5 hrs from our house so we got a hotel room because her report time was 8am (what were they thinking with it being daylight savings time!)
She really didn't eat much before the meet because she really isn't a...

Hi! Well, my dd had her second L3 meet this week-end and she did great, especially considering that she was under the weather! She missed school and gym Thursday and Friday. By Saturday, she was fever free and went to the gym for an hour to run through routines. At the meet during warm-ups...
Hi guys! We had our home meet today which was themed for St Patrick's Day. It was definitely a "lucky" day for Dani! Here is the rundown on her events:

Beam - 8.55 - (had a few wobbles - not sure how she placed b/c they...
We drew the last session, started around 7PM Sunday night. The weather was frightful, big Northeaster blowing through. All in all, it was a nice day.

This meet had it's ups and downs but finished off rather well. Here's the rundown:
First up was Beam. Eeeek---they never started on beam so that worried me a bit. It seemed like the beam was giving a lot of kids trouble because routines were shaky and scores were low. Dani went up toward the...

Well, we are back from Chicago also. What a great weekend, the
weather was fantastic and so cooperative, we were walking everywhere
in February!!! We arrived on Friday and dd did not compete until
Sunday morning. She had an 8am report time. Friday evening we
walked the Magnificent Mile...
Ok, first off, thank you to catesmom for the squat on fairy. She arrived on time and did her job just perfect!
I stayed on the floor to help the coach (since I have a professional number as a meet director). Just to help them keep lined up in order and stuff. So, I didn't really get to watch...
Let me start off by saying that big DD did NOT qualify for States....far from it! It has been a bad week, not to make excuses, but she woke up on 1/30 (her birthday) with a raging fever of 102.6. It turned out that she had strep, so she missed several practices and really is still not up...
Beetle and I are home from Chicago.. and whew! Are we thankful for a week off before her next meet!
We had a 8:00 am Friday meet time.. We drove down to Chicago on Thrusday night. Rolled into the hotel at about 8:00, after an 8 hour drive. The drive was fine with the exception of one 6...
My DD had a meet yesterday. She got second on Bars, 3rd on beam, 5th on floor and 6th on vault (I might have the vault and floor backwards, I don't remember) She got 3rd AA with a 36.65
2 more meets left in our season, and still chasing the elusive gold,*sigh*.
She really did well. I felt...
