I know some had state meets this past weekend. How did they go? I love hearing how the boys are doing!

My son attended his level 5 state championship last weekend. There was an issue with the heat at the venue and it was about 50 degrees when the competition started. My son does not tolerate cold well and he had relatively disastrous performances on his first two events (PB and HB). He’s never experienced such a difficult start at a meet and it seemed like he might not meet his goal of being selected for the 6 member state team. Fortunately, he rallied like a boss, earning new personal-bests on Floor (9.5 ) and Rings (9.6 ), which moved him up to 3rd place overall in the state. I was super proud of how well he recovered from such a difficult start. The meet was an excellent learning experience for him. Also, I learned that I need to pack hand warmers in his meet bag!
