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...
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...
DD has her L4 State Meet on Saturday. If anyone is through with all the fairies could you send them our way ??!!!
Thanks in advance. There are 21 girls in her age group.
Wow, I can't believe L4 is over! It literally flew by! Kylie had her state meet this week-end and she did awesome! We are so proud of her!
She started on bars, which is her favorite event. She did a very clean routine with just a little step-out on her dismount. Scored a 9.575, so she is...
Well she had a start time of 8am. She started on floor. It is her best event but it was not her best routine. All corrections made to routine she did not do. I think she was nervous. She scored an 8.75 and placed 7th!
Next up vault. She's improved her run. Doesn't seem to slow down before...
OK states has come and gone. It seems like yesterday I was thinking this season would never start, and here we are half way thru with states being done.
I wish I could tell you that I had a state champ on something, but I don't, I do have the vault and all around runner up in my house. Bug...
Well, let me say I am glad its over!! The gym was WAAAYYYY to small for such a large meet. Luckily we were in the front so we could see everything. Alex did very well and she placed 9th AA. I thought it was 11th but Alex told me she placed 9th. There were I think 24 or 25 girls in her group...
DD had her L6 State meet this past weekend. She had a great time and is happy to be done competing these routines. Hopefully, on to level 7. She had a really good day except for bars, her nemisis.
First event was bars, and she fell on the squat on, but other than that it was pretty good. 7.2...
She did soooo well! I am sooo proud of her!!!! Here is the rundown:
Vault - 9.10 - 2nd place - Silver!!!
Bars - 8.90 - 2nd place - Silver!!!
Beam - 8.20 - 5th place
Floor - 7.60 - Eh, we know this is NOT her best event...
AA - 33.80 - 5th place!!!
The girls also came in 3rd as a team...
Long, long day. We drove out and back in the same day, 4 1/2 hrs each way, yikes! But it meant a friend watched my 4 yr old so I only had to bring the baby (who was very disappointed that she wasn't allowed to eat the dirty popcorn off the floor)
I'm kicking myself for not bringing my camera...
Ok just got back from level 5 state.. The kids were so cute and its great to see how many have built confidence through out the year. There were some great routines and many flawless 2nd year 5s.( I have to say imho if they were in the top ten last year its hard to understand why they are...
Boy oh boy... Here it goes....
Beetle was feeling pretty good going into the State Meet. She had the absolutely right attitude, "I am going to just go do my best and have fun. Not worry about scores"
She had quite she cheering section, She had Gym Monkey's Mom with Gym Monkey and half of...
I put a long post in the Q & A forum about the coaching issues at the meet, so I won't rehash too much here. Gymmie had her L8 state meet last weekend---just a disaster from start to finish. First, it was supposed to be held a neutral site---host gym changed location at the last minute(ok 2.5...
Beetle has state meet tonight. She is feeling confident, I am a nervous wreck. I think I got a total of 4 hours of sleep last night.. Why do we do this to ourselves?
She did her flyaways Tuesday, Thursday and Friday so that little mental block is over! WHEW.
I could use a beam confidence...
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...
Dd had a very uncharacteristic floor.Fell on bhs 1 1/2 punch pike.She said she made it to high.Big step to the side on her fhs full and landed funny on her fhs whip so she could not pike out of it.Score 7.95:(.
Ofcoure she was very upset.Went out to the bathroom crying.I thought she is going to...
Just wanted to let everyone know that I have gotten Juju's State Meet montage posted for viewing. She asked a really cute question that I thought I would share with you...
Juju asked, "How long do I get to be a State Champion?"
Her expression was priceless when we told her for an entire...

New to all of this, and my dd is competing in her first state meet in early May (FL AAU.) The coach mentioned she's competing in the "elite" group. What the heck does this mean when you're only L2. Is it like swimming where the kids are grouped into "heats" and compete against others with...
DD had her State Meet yesterday. She had a good day. Her AA score was 36.425 which is right about what she always scores.
Once again she was in a really tough group. She only place on beam where her 9.375 earned her 6th place. Here are her scores:
Vault - 8.975
Bars - 9.100
Beam -...
