We had a surprise meet today. After last weeks meet the coach told us that we are not doing the #3 sectional and in place of that we were doing one today! Since last night was Halloween and this meet was about 1 hr away I did not think we could do a 8am session but thankfully it was a 2pm one. We were at this gym for our first meet and I guess going back there knowing you would probably do well again was a huge motivation for the girls who did not do great last week.
I know what you are thinking...did she go over the vault today......YES! Twice! No problem. As a matter of fact this past week she practiced with the L5's and went over the vault table no problem. If I hadn't shown up to see it myself at practice I would not have believed it, but at least I know now it really wasn't fear. It was that timing mat they place right in front of the spring board. My DD needs it everytime to make her hurdle to the springboard.
So it was a LONG meet and a HOT gym, but the scores were great. My DD got her first over 35 AA so when we finally got home (left house at 12:45 and didn't get home until almost 7:30pm) we celebrated with ice cream/brownie sundaes...she deserved it!
Scores were:
*7 yr olds*
V 9.25 (4th)
UB 8.55 (5th)
BB 8.5 (still had a fall but 5th place)
FX 8.850 (6th)
AA 35.15 (5th)
