Alex had what I think is her last Level 4 meet on Sunday. She is supposed to compete in Kansas City this coming weekend but she has hurt her foot and is in a boot at the moment.
We are not sure what she did but on Saturday evening she was complaining about the top of her right foot. I brushed it off because I saw no swelling or bruising there. The next morning she was still saying it was sore but not as bad as Saturday. We talked about it and she did not want to let her team down so we went to the meet. She did favor it a little bit but overall she did great. 2nd highest AA score 35.20 ever so I was very proud of her!!! Monday morning her foot had swollen so we took her to the sport ortho. They took x-rays but did not see a break. He told us that he could not rule out a break as the growth plate can look like a broken bone so the break could be there. We will have more x-rays in 2 weeks to see if it is better. He also said if it feels better in a few days that it is probably not broken and she can resume her activities. Lets hope it feels better. Her first Level 5 meet is the following weekend Jan 30-31 at Southeast Missouri State University.(SEMO) She had been looking forward to this meet all year because she went to camp there and meet some girls she would like to see again and her big brother goes to school there and he has never seen her compete so she was looking forward to him coming. Sorry this is sooooo long but here are her meet results with a hurt foot!!!
Vault - 8.4 she did not run very fast for obvious reasons and the vault looked
like it was in slow motion. No place
Bars - 9.3 Always her strongest event 1st place out of 26 girls
Beam - 9.1 Personal best. 4th place
Floor - 8.2 Her foot was hurting pretty bad by this event. No Place
AA - 35.20 9th place. Not too bad considering!!!!
Send healing fairies our way please!!!! Hopefully she will be able to compete at SEMO. If she does not she will only have 1 more chance to qualify for Level 5 states.
