Well, my title says it all. We had a home meet yesterday that I was Meet Director for and I have lived through it. There were 2 sessions. The 2nd session was Level 4s and it was fun and cute and I was able to sit back and enjoy myself once it started.
BUT the 1st session, oh geesh Louise! Once it started I then became MOM! Dd was competing her first Level 7 meet with outside gyms. I knew she would qualify for Sectionals, but I was so hoping that she would nail her bars routine and let me just say - she did! I was so excited for her.
Vault - 8.1 she is nursing a heel injury (so we'll take an 8.1) 6th out of 6 girls
Bars - 9.0 1st place (she nailed it and it looked good!) Of course DH was so excited he forgot to hit the record button, so no video. I'll get it next time!
Beam - 8.35 2nd place (she had a fall on backwalk over series, but got credit for the series. she does a BWO-BWO into a split. Well her 2nd BWO her hands were too close and she still went for the split and when she was coming down she couldn't get her leg through her hands and PLOP down she goes. But I can say that she nailed her BHS and her Full Turn (which usually gets her). Hop on landing though.
Floor - 9.225 3rd place (I think her heel affected her tumbling - it was a little lower that usual - but then again we'll take it!)
AA - 34.625 3rd place.
A very happy night in our household!
Now we have Sectionals in 2 weeks.... back to the gym today!
Going to bed early tonight.....z,z,z,z,z,z,z,z,! Boy does my body ache - I was at the gym 12 hours yesterday.
