Alex had a great meet this past Friday. Start time was 3:00. Very large venue with alot of seating. There was room to set up my video camera to finally get a good (non shaky) video for a change. Plus I brought my husbands DSLR camera and one of the other parents adjusted the settings for me...
Well they had a little different rotation this time than what they have had at all the other meets. She fell on beam (which is normaly a pretty good event for her). But she got right back up there and picked up where she left off. Besides falling, she was a little weeble wobble, and went over...
Today was DD's last meet until the fall and it wasn't her best, but there were definitely still some highs.
She started on vault and had a very bad piked vault. She managed to do a better second vault, but it still wasn't her best vault. Scored 9.1 no place
Next was bars and I really was...
I never ever thought I would be SO happy about one of my children scoring a 28.25 AA! But I am today. My little DD is in her first L4 season and she has struggled a lot which we knew she would. She has overcome many obstacles including many developmental delays as a toddler and preschooler...
I was very, very nervous for DD's 2nd meet. I was nervous because she doesn't work Level 4 routines in practice and I was nervous because she got 4 medals at her first meet and I knew this meet would be tough. Her first meet was very small and in comparison this meet was huge. I prepared her...
As you might know, I've been having some fear issues in practice (giants and tumbling). I originally wasn't supposed to compete bars or floor, but I warmed up my skills so I got to compete.
Floor was okay.. I didn't do my full so I felt like my routine was a little cookie-cutter.. lol. I messed...
Both DD's competed this weekend. Actually, it was today (seems so long ago now, it all started at 7:30 am!). We went up to "the beach" a day early for the meet and had lovely weather and just generally had a nice day yesterday before we had to go to the meet today. Stocked up on flip flops...
I just got home from my gym's meet a while ago, and I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!
I'm not going to post scores as we were scored out of 10.0 instead of 12.0, but what ever :)
Bars- BEST KIPS I HAVE EVER DONE!!! No extra casts/swings, everything flowed together and a stuck landing! 2nd place.
Floor-...
Kayla just keeps improving. She improved on all 4 events.
She got 1st on Beam, 4th on Bars, and 7th on Floor.
She still walked her vault, but I think it is a bad habit now. She looked like she had enough power, heel drive, and body position. Oh well, still seeing improvement. I'm just so...
home from a fun weekend. Alex had a meet in Cape Girardeau MO at Southeast Missouri State University. Her big brother goes to school there.We went up on Friday to watch the college girls compete. It was very exciting! A girl from our gym now competes for SEMO but is injured right now so was not...
Well I haven't been around much lately, because of finals and our main computer has a virus and my brother is always on the only other computer i am allowed to use :( I have enjoyed reading through some of your posts! I have had to meets this season and they have gone pretty well. Im a second...
Got back frolm Indy a little while ago! It was a really fun weekend and my team had a great meet :) It was my first time going because we normally went to the Chicago Style Meet instead.. But AAnyways......
We started on floor and I did a good routine; It felt a little wierd, but I guess it was...
So, Kathy qualified for sectionals today so we don't have to worry about whether they end up changing the scores from her last meet (see "the meet from... heck" thread if you don't know what I'm talking about). Her vault score has been edging up meet by meet. Her first one was only a 4.8...
Emma had her home meet last weekend. L8. It went pretty well.
Started on bars. 8.0. (9th place) completed the whole routine connected which is an accomplishment for her. Needs to work on form. Overall she was very happy! Next was beam. 8.2. Score seemed low. She was not credited with...
Had my third level 9 meet last weekend, and I hit 3/4 events!
Started with beam, where I just wanted to stay on. I got through the whole routine, and just had to do a full turn and my dismount. Fell on the full turn. Ooops! Nice dismount though. SCORE: 8.05 I'm fine with that!!
Then floor...
Older DD had her 2nd level 5 meet this weekend. It was a 2 hr drive with a 4:00 start time...pretty nice.
Overall she did great and we are very proud of her. She was dealing with a bad rip this week and she overcame that and did a great bar routine. If she gets her 2nd cast a little higher...
I had a pretty good meet yesterday :) Not my best, but it's only January ;)
We started on bars and I messed up on my squat on (I started to do it, then stopped and came back to the bar). It was pretty ugly :p Other than that I had a pretty good routine (form isn't too good though) and I did my...
I have to say that I couldn't sleep last night and was a nervous wreck just thinking about her competing. She on the other hand woke up bright and early at 5am and was ready to go with tons of energy. I felt sick to my stomach the whole time we drove over there and while we were waiting...
Hi Everyone,
I never did post an update for DD's meet due to a crazy work schedule.
This was her first real level 5 meet with the new gym.
She improved on all 4 events.
She still continues to "walk" across the vault table, but her run and punch are continuing to improve along with...
So I had my second level 7 meet on Sunday. It wasn't my best meet, but I'll just do better next time..
-Vault was pretty good.. I did 2 decent vaults but took I step on both.. I got a 9.25 and placed third.
-Bars was rough. I fell over on my low bar handstand (just like last meet) and I hit my...
