I've been in lurking land the past week or so---a few little tech issues getting on here which JBS helped clear up.
Anyway, my gymie had her 2nd L7 meet last weekend. Nice big gym, so good viewing, but their sound system was awful. This is the way my gymie seems to go through all of her seasons---shaky 1st meet then starts to settle in and build as the meets go on.

I'll put the scores in the order they competed.
Beam: Ugh 1st event at like 9am! Fell on the bwo series Score: 7.9(same as 1st meet)
Floor: She smiled!! She worked it! Coach put her up 1st since she said her music gets the crowd going. Got the head judge going---he was smiling and tapping his hand during her routine. This is my kid who "tolerated" floor while a compulsory gymnast---what a change in her with her own music/choreo. Now says, "I LOVE floor." Score: 9.0(up from 8.7)
Vault: The coaches are getting even more power out of her run--this is her "easy" event.
Score: 9.3(up from 8.65)
Bars: Dang--got the other grip hung up on the low bar this time. Had to take an extra swing to kip/cast. Judges told her coach, that the rest of the routine was so nice, they hated to take that big 1st deduction. Stuck her flyaway cold. Scores overall were low on bars.
Score: 8.575(up from 8.35)
AA: 34.775(up 1.175)
Lots more girls at this meet and the ages were divided more evenly. She took 3rd on vault(huge smile getting up on the podium), 8th on bars, 6th on floor and 11th AA.
She was pleased, as was her coach. Now she is determined to get beam solid. Next meet is a big invitational on Feb. 8(we have the 8am session---uuuuuggggghhhh!)

Congrats on the great meet. It was awesome that she placed 3rd!Big smiles here.

We have a meet at 4 tomorrow night. Talked to some of the girls that went friday and earlier today and the scores seem to be running high. In fact at the level 7 session this morning I am told they gave a 10! Haven't ever seen that, it was on vault. I tried to go online and verify that score but the website crashed. Keep fingers crossed that the judges aren't too tired to give those big scores tomorrow!

We'll let you know how it goes!

DD had her L5 Sectional meet yesterday... she qualified for States!!! Yippee!!

I thought the Judges were scoring very hard on the floor routines!!

Anyway. . . her scores were: 9.250 on Beam; 8.725 on bars; 8.5 on floor and 8.65 on vault... for an AA of 35.075..

Anyone else out there at the L4/5 Sectional meet in Chantilly?

Great job to your daughter Gym Law mom sounds like she kicked it on floor How exciting that even the judge loved her music and showed it. How fun Great meet and great scores

[melmonette]

YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Tumbequeen's DD Congratulations on qualifying for states and a great meet Woooooo hoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

DD has her 3rd level 4 meet this weekend. It's a meet hosted by our gym so there's probably going to be a bit more pressure for them to perform well. I'm kind of bummed, though, because they're splitting the teams out by age, and by different sessions. So 1/3 of her team competes at 8:15am, another 1/3 at 10:30 then her session is at 12:35. We want to cheer everyone on so looks like we'll be showing up at 8! Oh, well. Next weekend we have to be at the host gym at 7:30am. Ugh.

Anyone else competing this weekend?

Tumblequeensmom... we were at the meet in Chantilly. DD also qualified for states with a 34.225 yeah!! I think she got a 8.35 on floor. I found the judges to be tough on floor too. I'm just happy she qualified. This is her first year competing at all so now she can just concentrate on getting better for states I can't believe there were 301 level 4's.

Congrats to all the gymnasts!

Rayna has her 2nd qualifier this weekend. Here you do 3 and they average the top 2 scores to see if you qualify. The qualifying score here is 44.4 and she got a 46.3 at her first meet. So a little less pressure on the score front, but she has 5 cousins, 2 aunts, a grandma and a friend of mine for the first time, so possibly more pressure from a different source.

I'll update on Saturday night!
