Hi! I have not been on too much this week. ALex has been home from practice all week with a fever. Luckily this was spring break so she did not miss any school! Next weekend is states so hopefully she can get strong enough again! Suprising what 1 week can do!!
The meet was alot of fun and alot of work!! THis was our hosted meet so all parents were supposed to help out in some way. I have found a new found respect for anyone annoucing awards! I did it for the first time and I sooooo butchered a couple of names!! I felt bad but I am sure this happens to them often!! Anyway on the the meet report!!
First up was beam! She fell on her first turn but the rest was the best I have ever seen her do!! No wobbles! Now that is a real accomplishment!!! 8.25 (with a fall)
Next was floor. Nice routine!! 8.75
On to vault - never will understand the scoring!! 7.95. Even our best vaulter has not broken a 9.0 this season!! Go figure!! And her vaults look perfect!! (too me at least)
Last was bars - her best event. All season she has scored high 8's and the last couple of meets has had 9's. She fell out of her kip (her grip twisted or something so she was not able to complete her front hip circle. The coach said she probably recieved a 1.2 total deduction on the routine. She ended up with an 8.1 even with the fall! I thought that was pretty darn impressive!!!
33.025 AA
Placed 3rd on floor and 6th AA.
THanks for reading and I will try to post a video at some point!!
