What an intense week it's been. My DD had a meet on Saturday, one on Monday and another one tonight (Wednesday). VERY unusual, but the one on Monday was a make up from December. I just hope she's caught up on all of her school work!
Anyway, she has slowly improved her scores on the three events she's competing. Tonight she actually placed 4th on bars against some VERY tough competition from area schools that have LOTS of L9 girls on their teams. Her SKILLS are not as high as theirs, BUT her form was impeccable, her casts were nice and high, good clear hips and her dismount was above the bar. Her score was "only" 8.0, but that's really good for HS gym. There was only one 9.0 and then the other L9's got scores in the mid 8's. Good event for her.
She scored her highest score EVER on vault (in HS). 8.8. YAY!!! That was good for a tie for 5th place.
Beam... well, she fell on her 3/4 tuck jump AGAIN. She got an 8.3 Monday night (with the same darn fall); and a 7.9 tonight.
All in all tho, a good finish for her
Now she gets a break until January 27th. It's mid-term exams next week and no meets! I'm EXHAUSTED from all this running around!
Thanks for listening to me!
