There are always plenty of stories shared about crazy gym parents and coaches so I thought it might be refreshing to share a couple of stories from the recent Buckeye Elite Qualifier that really warmed my heart.
My daughter competed in both the Elite Compulsory Qualifier and the Hopes Optional...
Good luck to anyone competing in Burlington this weekend!
DD is first flight this morning, but went to bed with a fever, not wanting dinner, and pumped full of Tylenol last night, so we'll see how she does :( She's got one more hour to sleep, then the prep process begins!
Does anyone know and can you provide any reference on this?
What is the age someone can time at a qualifier? Our club is saying that it is a GO rule that it has to be 12 but the reference I found does not specify an age.
Anyone?
Thanks

Sooooooo proud of DD. She came in third today at the National Stream Cup qualifier, and made Team Ontario. First "real" meet with scores and she did awesome!!!!
Signed - proud mommy ;)
So for all of you ladies inquiring about the National Stream cup qual in base Borden:
CPN Aspires and elites both compete first flight on Sunday morning the 17th (7:30am registration). There are 14 aspires and 8 elites listed.
It will be DD's first meet with scores.... so exciting for her!
Is there going to be any way to follow the men's national qualifier meet happening this weekend? I wouldn't dare dream of live streaming, but maybe videos? Live scoring somewhere?
And I say HA only because she wasn't going to compete tramp this year, but had a change of heart. Last year she was consistently middle to bottom of the pack. Last qualifier she was 3rd and this time she won! Happy shocker!
She also placed 3rd on Double mini, which was the opposite kind of...
I guess this could go in Brags, lol but this is a lonely category so I'm putting this here!
DD competed trampoline, double mini and synchronized trampoline this past weekend. She earned BRONZE in trampoline and double mini!!! And before that day she had never trained on an actual double mini...
DD has her first tramp and tumbling qualifier this weekend!! We are excited and nervous!
Her tumbling passes are round off, three back handsprings back tuck, then the same but back layout.
I can't describe her whole trampoline routines, lol. Next qualifier we will also add synchronized tramp...
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...

In her late 30's (was NCAA in 92-93!)and going to elite qualifiers! I think this is fantastic!
Hi everyone just wanted to stop buy to give a big shoutout to Bean and her fantastic results at her first Provincial Qualifier as a LEVEL NINE! She had one mistake on bars falling on her free hip to hst but the rest of her routine and her other events were AWESOME! There were 6 girls in her...

Corky's second qualifier was last weekend in Oshawa.
Her Sever's has been acting up again so we weren't sure she would be able to compete. She has been going to physio again and has orthotics in her shoes, is wearing her tuli's cheetahs along with something called Fabs. It looks like this...
We’re back from a wonderful weekend full of family fun! Niagara Falls is a great place to have a meet! Wax museum/haunted house/giant ferris wheel overlooking the falls/maze/rainforest café, and of course, the hotel pool and hot tub!! All topped off with a Qualifying score and a chance to put a...
Well, it turns out I may have been wrong about Bean being qualified. I thought, since she surpassed the qualifying score, she was in for Ontario Cup, but now I'm not sure. I just read a document that says they take an average score across 2qualifiers to determine if an athlete is qualified...
Hi everyone!
My little bean has her 1st qualifier tomorrow and I'm nervous for her. You may remember that she thoroughly broke her toe back in October. She only just started full training the week before Christmas, then right away had a week of shut down for the holidays.
She has 2...
