We had a great time at the Gamecock Invite. My DD and her L5 team mates all bounced back from their worst meet of the season to having their best meet of the season. My DD missed out on the highest score of all 90 level 5's by .025. Her all around score was 37.025 and the highest L5 score was 37.050. This was a big improvement from her last meet of 35.225.
We even got to enjoy watching the USC Mascot "Cocky" vault over the table. The girls thought it was hilarious. Now on to the meet report (video for bars and beam is below). I had a "disc error" that occurred during the meet that wiped out "Cocky", floor, and vault.
Floor - 9.275 1st place (personal best for L5, great way to start the meet)
Vault - 8.675 4th place (still struggling, but it was her highest score of the
season)
Bars - 9.675 1st place (another personal best, plus a great job from her
coach)
Beam - 9.4 2nd place (tied her personal best, although this was not her best
routine. She was upset with herself because of the
wobble on her cartwheel. They had a contest in the
gym last week and she stuck 50 in a row. What really
upset her was that if she wouldn't have wobble, she
would have had the highest score of the session and
won the Gamecock Invite Leotard )
