i tried looking for posts about this but they are all pretty old and I know it changes from year to year ....
DD turns 8 the week before state, and even though making state is going to be good enough in my eyes, I feel like her competing with 8 year olds at state when she's been in the lower age group all season would be somewhat of a disadvantage to her. Plus she's tiny, she looks more like a 6 year old at this point, I have a feeling no one is going to believe she's 8 anyway lol. She hasn't qualified yet but she is SO close, she has three more meets to get that qualifying score and I'm confident she'll make it, only time will tell. We are in IL if that matters.
Thanks in advance!
