Well we had our meet today and it was tough scoring...
Emily didn't do as well as the first meet but did pretty good except vault... She just gets killed on vault and I never get it. I always think they look better than many of the girls who end up scoring higher.
Anyway, they divided the 8 year olds into 8a's and 8b's and Emily was in the 8b category even though she just turned 8 in August... supposedly that still makes her an old 8 year old because when she gets to state in March she will be 8 years and 7 months old but whatever....
Anyway, she got
Bars- 8.9 and 1st place for her age group
Beam- 8.85 and 2nd place for her age group
Floor- 9.0 and 2nd place for her age group(lost to a the teammate, she lost to last meet(9.1)
Vault-8.65??? what the heck... didn't place at all and caused her to lose 2nd place in the all around during a tie breaker....
All Around- 35.4 and 3rd place since 2nd and 3rd tied and she lost the tie breaker to her teammate(1st place girl from other team only scored 35.7)
We are done with meets till Jan mid month and then have 3 in a row.
She was crying after bars because she didn't get as high as her last meet... I think it threw her off the rest of the meet... She is so hard on herself but really the judging was inconsistant on vault and the Bar judge was tough tough tough... girls were placing 5th with scores in the 7s so Emily did good considering the tough judging... The floor judge was very tough too...
We have 34 girls on our level 4 team and only 7 scored in the 9s...
