Hi All,
Well we had our mock meet. Netty's DD is level 6, mine is level 5.
Well....
Kay was AMAZING!!! :jaw-dropping:
Apparently, she's one of those kids who seems to struggle in practice and then is flying for competition.
It was fantastic to see her finally do well. Last year she went from Devo level 1/2 to 4 in 6 months and really struggled.
This year until this week she was still having trouble with FHS back ext roll to handstand, ROBHSBHS on floor; kip, squat on jump to high bar on bars; getting over the table on vault; and a head case on beam (split beam 2 months ago and lots of stressors at home due to my Mom's illness). Well, today for the meet...
We started on beam; she got her cartwheel (which she's been balking on) Hand stand (which she's been balking on) and an otherwise pretty clean routine...
Next Vault: She took the 2/10 deduction for a spot, but really jumped well off the springboard;
Floor: She had every skill (always room for improvement) but she had every skill! This is an absolute first.
I was sooooo happy. This kid is such a hard worker and has fought so hard for her gymnastics. All the other parents were coming up to me asking, "who is that kid?!" She really reached down and pulled an amazing meet out. She really loves to perform and I am sooooo happy for her.
Can't wait for her first real level 5 meet, Dec. 6th.. Such a change from last year where we still didn't have all our skills by the end of the season.
Well, hopefully Netty will be able to chime in here soon. I couldn't really watch her DD since they were running the 5's and 6's simultaneously.
Thanks everyone as always for all your support.
