Beth had a great meet Saturday!

[cathiann]

Her team started off on Vault--love starting there because she does well on vault and it gives her a boost . She did well again! Scored a 9.5 and took 2nd in her age group.

Moved to bars next--her teammate before her did fantastic--scored a 9.525, but Beth did well too and got a 9.35--2nd to her teammate (those two compete all the time--makes them both work harder LOL!).

Beam Beth was a little shaky and scored an 8.85 (no falls though)--and 4th place.

Floor is probably her worst event--typically. She struggles with pointing toes, keeping legs straight etc. She did get a 9.175 though--didnt place. (I thought floor scores were really high that session!).

All-around she took 3rd place and their team took 1st so they were all happy--they got practice cancelled last night for doing so well.

Oh--best of all--two of our girls that hadn't yet qualified for State DID!! One had been pretty far away, but this meet she pulled it all together and made it. We have two girls yet to qualify. One just did all-around for the first time at this meet (and missed qualifying by 0.2)--the other is injured and still does only 2 events, so I don't know if she'll have a chance to qualify.

Here are links to her routines (first is vault, bars & beam and second is floor).

She did a lovely job, hard to imagine getting that nice floor score and not placing.

I hate when the get a 9 and don't place!

She looks great, and I love her vault. It looks so good!

Great Job!!! Love the floor routine, what is the name of Beth's floor routine music?

She did a great job! I loved the floor!

I'm jealous that she has so many people cheering, I wish Bean had more than just her family. All that encouragement has got to make her feel good.

Congrats! Your vault is beautiful! What a nice reward to get a day off for a job well done. Thanks for the video.

Nice job! Beautiful Vault.. I agree she is ready for L8 with those bars!

I remembered we were in the same session, but didn't know what team your DD was with--I was trying to find her the whole time!

 

[cathiann]

I'm not sure what her floor music is called. I'll find out (she didn't pick it out)

Sometimes I think our team is a little too obnoxious with the cheering. The girls from other levels all come and cheer them on and the parents are also into cheering (in our defense, when we are at a meet and a team doesn't get a lot of cheers at the introduction, we cheer for them too!).

 

[gym monkeys mom]

cathiann. Sorry about that. We are at Mn Valley we will also be at Northern Lights with you guys we can try and say hello there.

 

[cathiann]

I'll keep an eye out--I know I've seen MN Valley at a lot of meets! Have you found out yet when she competes at NL? We haven't and I want to know!

 

[cathiann]

Okay, just got the e-mail today that we compete Sunday evening--hopefully we'll see you there !!

 

[CreateMagic]

She is beautiful gymnast, great lines. Congratulations on a great meet!

Great Job!!! Love the floor routine, what is the name of Beth's floor routine music?

I asked her coach and she said that there isn't a name for it--the company just gives numbers and she won't share--doesn't want others in our area using the same place! (I mentioned I didn't think you were from this area, but oh well LOL!)
