Lily closed out her season by competing in the HOPES championship meet on Friday. She took home the gold on floor, bronze on vault and the silver in the all around with a 51.2. This year has been full of ups and downs. She started the season with the goal of qualifying junior elite but after not getting her junior elite score at her first two qualifiers it was decided to have her repeat HOPES. Best decision ever. About halfway through the season she had a bit of a meltdown and almost walked away from the sport altogether. Luckily, after taking a few days off from the gym she found her passion again and hasn’t looked back. She ended her season and her HOPES career exactly how she wanted to and is now focused and ready for the elite world. I’m so sad that I will never get to see her perform her floor routine again but am so excited to see her new one. 5 months to work on upgrades and new routines before her first qualifier in January.
