Bug competed Friday at the Chicago Style meet, unlike NW Ohio gymmom having the first session of the day, we were in the last session. Awards took forever and we did not get back to the hotel until 11pm, we ordered delivery for supper and did not end up eating until midnight. Needless to say we slept in and did not make it to our 9:30am brunch reservations at the American Girl Place, but we did eventually get there for shopping. American Girls are my weakness for Bug as they are the only thing that she plays with outside of the gym. Anyhoo, on to the meet:
Vault was first up. Hands way back on the horse and very archy off. 7.900 last place for her age group.
Bars: They are starting to look so much better. The joke last Tuesday was that since Bug turned 9 that day she finally learned to cast. Not to horizontal yet, but at least connecting the cast to the FHC and the long hang kip. 8.700 for 25th place--no medal.
Beam: Her cartwheels during the warm up were so very solid, too bad during the actual routine she dropped her shoulder and fell. After she was done her coach told her how confident she was during the routine, even going into the cartwheel, unlike others on her team. The girls as a whole have been struggling on beam. This was actually the first time that she fell off the beam in a meet outside of her first level 4 meet where she missed her dismount. 8.550--maybe she would have had that first 9 if she would have hit her cartwheel. Oh well this is our season of learning and fun. She did place 19th
Floor: She still needs to work on her split leap. She tends to drag her back leg. 8.700 was her score, good for 18th place.
Her all-around was 33.850, up from the last meet. 26th place, no medal.
I will post the link to You Tube once it is processed.
