Well my gym had our intrasquad yesterday and it went pretty well. I competed advanced prep optional, which is kinda in between 7 and 8 except with level 9 vault values for some unknown reason.
Vault: 7.85. I warmed up a few tsuks but after faceplanting my last warmup turn I competed a...
Hi everybody - haven't been on in awhile. After a summer of struggles and thoughts of quitting dd had her first level 7 meet yesterday. She was expecting low scores as she hasn't mastered some of her skills - namely she doesn't have her flip flop on the beam and her giants on the bars. But...
She qualified!
The meet started very rough. They were first on beam and the warm up lasted all of 1 min. She was able to do her series (cartwheel/cartwheel) once before competing. She fell on her series and her full turn. She was in tears which in turn made me cry too. Soo hard to watch...
Alex had a pretty good meet considering it was her first of the season!! She for the first time in her gym career was very nervous. I think it had to do with having her own routines.
First on Floor - this is never her strongest event. 8.2 no place
Next to Vault - she placed 6th with a...
Jess and her teammates were all so excited to be a "big kid" and start their level 7 season.
We started on vault and started the season with a nice 9.15
But then off to bars . . . oh bars, how we despise thee . . . 7.35! we were very happy to start the season on bars over a 7.
Beam . . . I'm...
DD's first L5 meet was today. She started on beam, and the nerves got to her. Fell on her cartwheel for a 7.9. Then went to floor and had some minor mistakes for a 9.0. Vault, not really her best event, she did really well for a 9.0. Bars...she just recently got all her skills but is a bit...
So, the competition was killer at dd's first level 6 meet yesterday. Not only was the host team one of the best in the state, but there was a team from a neighboring state who, I'm sure would have been top-notch at any time of year, but this was actually the END of their season. We actually saw...
DD had a super awesome meet again today. She did pretty much the best routines she can do on 3 of the events. She had a wobble on beam, but the rest was very good. She ended up 1st AA with a score a few tenths under a 39 AA! It was crazy. She also won all 4 events. I was so proud of her...
DD had her 2nd level 4 meet and did great! She again won 1st AA with her score right under a 38 this time. She also won 1st on 2 events and was 2nd and 3rd on the other 2. I was so proud of her for having some little mistakes on 2 events (the 2 she won ironically) and not letting it rattle her...
DD had her first meet of the season and she did absolutely fabulous. I couldn't be prouder or more excited for her. She won the AA and 3 of the 4 events, placing 2nd on the 4th event by just .050. Her AA total was a mid 38. She also had the highest AA score and highest score on the 3 events she...
Dani had a good solid meet. It wasn't her best but it also wasn't her worst either. She had a weird flukey thing happen on beam right at the start but managed to pull it together and continue with a great routine! We always want our kids to do their best at championships or States score and...
Dani had an awesome meet!!!
First up was floor--she hit a clean routine for an 8.80 and 6th place! :D
Vault was next. The springboard seemed kind of far away from the vault and it was giving her some problems--lots of balks in warm-ups. But, when it was her turn, she hit two awesome vaults...
Kathy's goal for her PA level 5 States meet was to get a 34AA. She also hoped to get a 9 on something. Here are her scores:
Vault: 8.7
Bars: 8.55
Beam: 8.625
Floor: 9.0!
AA: 34.875
That's exactly 1 point higher than she got at sectionals. She placed on both vault and floor (low-placed, but...
Well, the season is almost over! Older DD had her state meet on Sunday. She has had a really rough couple of weeks in gym for various reasons, and was healing up a gigantic rip on her hand all week :(...but it was mostly better in time for the meet. She has struggled a lot on vault all season...
Alex had her state meet yesterday and she rocked the bars!!! She tied for 1st with a 9.4!! So I guess that makes her the state champ? Of the 11B Level 5 group hehe!! She ended up with the silver medal because the girl she tied with had a higher all around score but who cares right? Here are...
Hi! I have not been on too much this week. ALex has been home from practice all week with a fever. Luckily this was spring break so she did not miss any school! Next weekend is states so hopefully she can get strong enough again! Suprising what 1 week can do!!
The meet was alot of fun and...
After the last two meets being held back by falls, I was really nervous for this meet. It was my last chance to get a 32, and it was going to be especially difficult considering that I just got over walking pneumonia and couldn't go to gym at all last week!
Vault-(8.550)
Still doing a front...
Hi All,
Dani had a great meet overall. There were some ups and downs but mostly ups!! Here's the rundown:
Beam was first. She had a few bobbles and didn't make the press (but tried her damndest!!) but didn't fall .
Score: 8.7-9th place
Floor was next. Her coach had her doing her ROBHS a...
Em went to the Manhattan Classic last weekend. She had a really good meet for herself. She is a 1st year level 8 and I have come to realize there are a ton doing L8 for the 2nd year. Must be very common.

Started on floor and did her best routine of the...
