Oh yes, this is a huge deal for them. So, tell her congrats on that rip. I remember when my gymmie got her 1st rip. She insisted on bandaging her hand to go to school the next day and used enough tape for 3 or 4 hands. Of course, everyone asked her what she had done and she proudly explained about getting a rip. My guess is most of the kids didn't get it, but she got lots of attention anyway.
Now, rips are just an annoyance and nothing she wants to celebrate
