I'm curious what everyone else thinks about this and I'm bored so it's something to discuss.
DD's gym gave a gymnast of the year award. It was explained as an award to the gymnast with the best performance for the year. It was given to a compulsory gymnast (L4) who won state and she's a great gymnast, I'm not arguing with that. Meanwhile there is a Level 10 gymnast who won an event at State, placed 3rd AA, made regionals where she again won the same event and was the alternate to JO nationals and competed in the NIT. We are also from a tough region where she scored a mid 37AA at regionals to place 8th and miss making JO's.
Personally I would have felt a little irritated if I were the Level 10 girl. Level 10 is a whole other ball game than L4. I mean, L4 is not even a real level in my opinion and my DD will compete L4 this year so I can say that! I just don't see how their accomplishments can be compared. And the Level 4 girl was competing her 2nd year of level 4! I just thought it was a little crazy. Maybe they need 2 awards, one for L4-6 and one for L7-10.
Just my opinion and I was curious what others think. Neither one is my DD or even a friend's DD.
