Well daughter had her 2nd level 5 meet this past weekend. It was tougher than she thought it would be competing by herself. She really missed her teammate who normally competes with her. She was not her normal spunky self.
Although her scores were pretty consistent from the last meet, she had a fall on the beam and her all around was down from a 34.2 to a 33.3.
Floor she got a 8 was the 1st event for her and the first to compete.
Vault she got a 8.15
Bars the same as before 8.6
Beam a 8.55 she fell after her cartwheel, this has her bummed out she has never fell on beam in a meet. I knew it would happen soon or later.
The good news is that she still placed 4th AA for her age group out of 20 girls. The meet turned out better than it started out. She was in a squad with 2 other teams a large team that was not that good and a small team of about 7 girls. She tried to talk to the a girl from the large team and she said to my daughter that she should not be talking to her during a competition. Well then one of the girls from the small team started to talk to her and by the end of the meet the whole team (the smaller good team) was cheering for her. During her beam routine I heard my daughters name and looked around to see who they were calling to and it turns out it was her. The rest of the meet and during awards they were cheering for her like she was one of them. The girls from this team also placed in 1-3rd spots. My daughter made some new friends and the this team competes in our league so she will get to see them at future meets. It is so nice to see girls from other clubs getting along so well I bet they could teach a few parents a thing or two!!!
Once again I tried to video her but her floor came out so small. Then during bars I was so nervous that I looked away with the camera. My daughter yelled at me she must of saw me turn my head during her bar routine!
Maybe next time.
