Scratching events at states.

[Panda-girl's Mom]

My daughter is recovering from wrist injuries, she got the okay to go back and work on bars and beam. She is petitioning to States in 4 weeks I was just wondering if she can not tumble by then can you do states and only do some events at level 5 like bars and beam and scratch floor and vault.

 

[ZJsMom]

Sure. You can always scratch. She probably wouldn't be the only one there not doing all four.

I hope she's better though and able to compete.

My daughter was out with an injury all year and petitioned into States and was only ready on three events so that's what she did.

Definitely--girls scratch events at STate at all levels.

Talk with her coaches and come up with a plan for competing only 2 events and just see how she does getting back in the gym. Girls scratch events all the time at state meets so it shouldn't be an issue.
