DD had her 2nd Prep Op Rookie 2 meet today. Apparently she brought her A game to the gym today. Who knew ...........
We were a little out of our element because our girls were split into two groups so some were on one event and some on another (it is hard to cheer and watch two events and girls at the same time !!). They also did not have the electronic scoring so we had to watch for the signs to be held up. They had the gymnast # underneath but it was hard to read from far away.
DD was in the group that started on beam, while the others were on vault. DD does a beautiful routine, no real wobbles but my first thought was 'she didn't do her split leap' - which has been pretty bad lately. What happened is that HC told her to take it out during warm-ups because it is killing her score and she didn't need it because she had a split jump in her routine. Anyway, she finishes her routine - awesome dismount held the handstand forever. I am trying to watch the vault girls too. Score turns around 9.725 :jaw-dropping: Now I am squinting thinking I am reading a 9.125 as a 9.725. So I ask her teammates mom sitting next to me - and she confirms it is a 9.725 !!!! Personal Best and First Place.
Next up is floor. Now she loves her music and her routine and has been really getting into it. Clean routine, small bend in the legs on ROBHS, on time with the music. 9.575 - By now I am wondering what she had in her Cocoa Pebbles this morning !! Another Personal Best and First Place.
Next up Vault - probably her weakest event. Both vaults look great to me but vault seemed to be scoring low so I was not sure. Sign turns around 9.325 good enough for Second Place.
Finished on bars. She does not like her routine - thinks it is babyish. Pullover, two back hipcircles, sole circle dismount - but that is all that is required. 9.300 for Third Place.
She took First Place AA with her Personal Best 37.925 !!!!
I was in shock. This is the best meet she has ever had. I am so proud of her. She also finished 2nd in the handstand contents and her team took First Place w/ a 114.6
Sorry for the long brag - I am just still so very excited.
