LSS had her first meet of her SENIOR season today. There were 11 girls in her age group.
She started on beam. Her acro wasn't ready, so she skipped it. She did fall once, but AFTER getting credit for her full turn. Her split jump was iffy, but she did get credit ... just took a deduction for insufficient split. She also took a step on her dismount. 9.5 SV. Score: 7.8. 8th place
Then she went to Vault (split gym with beam and vault in one room and bars and floor in the actual gymnastics center in the next room). Did her 1/2 On. Step on the landing. 9.7 SV. Score: 8.5. 6th place
After vault was bars. Her casts were low. No B skill. No squat on (did a climb onto low bar). She took a step on the landing. ORIGINAL SV: 7.9 ORIGINAL Score: 4.8.
All of our Platinums had super low scores and start values. After our LAST Platinum went and only got a 9.5 SV (Routine was kip, cast over horizontal, clear hip, kip, cast Squat on, jump to high bar, uprise, back hip circle, cast above horizontal, flyaway) and she only got a 7.5, HC submitted a blanket inquiry. Turns out, they were judged as Diamonds. We did NOT find this all out until AFTER floor was done. The judge had to re-evaluate our entire team's routines and scores. I didn't find out LSS's actual SV, but I expected it to be about 8.7. Her score ended up being 6.9. 10th place
She went with last year's routine since this year's isn't ready yet. Stung her ankle a little in warm-ups, but it felt better after a little dance pass practice. She remembered all of her skills in her routine (last year, she forgot her full turn in one meet and forgot her back tuck in another). She did take 3 steps after her back tuck. 10.0 SV. Score: 8.65. 4th place
All Around: 31.85 8th place ... only 1.15 from qualifying for YMCA Nationals. She knows what she can do to get some tenths back, and has another meet next weekend.
