So proud of my DD today! And actually, I'm most proud of her lowest score. Her 1st level 5 meet was 3 weeks ago.
Beam: last meet 8.15, this meet 8.6 (she CAN stick that cartwheel... she makes it look easy in practice! She could be up in the 9s if she could just get it in competition!)
Floor: last meet 8.3, this meet 8.85 (2nd place!)
Vault: last meet needed a "push" and scored 4.85, this meet, no push, 7.2
Bars: last meet she "scratched," this meet she made BOTH kips plus caught the high bar (missed the squat on), 6.2. She only got her long-hang kip this week! And, believe it or not, she placed with that score (7th or 8th, I think... they went out 8 places). So either it was a bad night for bars or the judge was scoring low (or both).
She was 6th AA.
I'm a super-proud mama! I am more excited than I can even tell you about those stupid kips. I was just about convinced that she would NEVER get them!!! (though, of course, I would never have told her that!)
