Hi! Here is the video from her State meet. She had a great day and is still smiling! Today is her first official day as a Level 4, although they have been doing the skills for months...she is super excited about the new music...me too!
Thanks for watching!:)
YouTube - Level 3...
We are officially done with Level 3 and my dd ended with a great last meet! She scored a 39.35 AA, which not only won her session, but was the high score for all of the L3 sessions. She was also awarded a 10 on bars, which was a huge thrill for her! Only 10 of the meet, and she was beyond...
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...
Her first sectionals and she did really well! Momma is proud :)
Pixie was so excited the night before I had a hard time getting her to sleep! I was so nervous because she has had a really hard time in gym the week before on her handstands which effects many of the L4 routines.
At gym the...
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...
went pretty good on Saturday--she was first thing in the morning--poor girl had to get up by 6 and leave by 6:30 as I had to be there for a volunteer meeting (our gym hosted--I entered vault scores all day both days). They started on bars--I didn't get to see it! But she got a low (for her)...
Naomi just finished her last regular meet of the season and has gone undefeated!! Yay, Naomi! Let's see if she can pull it off at state. (level 5, VA)

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...
Besides Pixie?? Starting to feel left out here, lol! Actually, what I'm feeling is butterflies! Sectionals is Saturday morning. While she is super amped I'm starting to worry. Mainly because her coaches have been "adjusting" her handstands so that she holds them longer and now they are ALL...
Sorry this took so long... I have had zero time to load them up and make this with work and stuff:)
Here is the link:)
thank you in advance for peeking:)
YouTube - 2008 Kansas State Gymnastics Meet Level 5
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...
Okay we are pretty new to Region 8 - Regionals (in Atlanta) - Level 8, but this week at State our DD qualified for an All-Star spot. Just curious in the main differences between the State Team vs All-Star. Do the All-Star girls compete against the State girls or they kept separate. How are the...
We are finished for the year. DD didn't make regionals though. Missed it by .175!!!!!!!! Sooo close. But we are very proud of her. She was very upset right after, but her team was there to support her and after we all went out for pizza and ice cream and had a great time celebrating the end...
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...
So, I've not been posting results and have been basically lurking all season. As you may remember I had some concerns about dd's gym at the begining of the season. Well, the concerns were unfounded and I stand corrected! I didn't want to jinx anything by posting results! A little background...
Firstly, I feel like a mac truck hit me this morning and backed up and hit me again. I am in the hotel room after SC State Meet with Bailey still sleeping from complete exhaustion. Here goes:
Start on beam--as most of you know, beam can go either way. She didn't practice the bwo series during...
