Daughter had her 1st level 5 meet this past weekend. I was a nervous wreck. The night before they decided what she was able to compete. Her gym is really strict about competeing events if you do not have your skills you can compete that event. I was on pins and needles hoping she would be able to do all the events. So daughter comes out of practice and decides to tell me she is not doing floor. Of course she was tricking me again. So she brings out her grip bag I was more worried about her being able to compete bars. it turns out both her and her friend are both doing all events.
First up was floor she looks good but her back handsprings need work. She gets a 8.35, so we are happy. Next up is vault. I could not believe how many girls were crashing over the vault table, it was downright scary. I can barely watch her it just makes me nervous. She manges to get over and get a 8.2. Now were are on to the dreaded bars, this has been her worst event in the 2 past years at level 4 and I only saw her do her kip and jump to the high bar once. She connects her routine gets both her kips and gets a 8.6 we are thrilled. Last is beam. Beam has been one of her best events she looks really good in warm up. This is the last event and she is the last girl competing so the flasher never flashes her score. Both her coaches come up to me and tell me that she got a 9.05!!.
Her AA was 34.2 and she came in 2nd place for her age group! Both her and her friend qualified for sectionals in their 1st level 5 meet I am so proud. Of course I could not get up the nerve to video her , maybe next time.
