DD #1 had a report time of 4 pm today, after a full day at school. They finished just before 9pm, and we went out to dinner w/the rest of the team, which the girls thoroughly enjoyed.
There will not be any video as DD asked me not to tape her tonight.
FX - new routine got revamped b/c DD had too much in it and she was way too tired to do her whip pass, so she took out her aerial and valdez and some other stuff in the middle. She got 8.6 with a SV of 9.5. We're not sure why 6 of our 7 girls had a lower SV. Hopefully the coach asked!
Vault - after DD swore there was no way no how she was going to do a Tsuk because she hates this gym (Rutgers) and this is where she got hurt the last time, I was surprised to see ALL of the girls warming up tsuks. 8.65 - 6th place.
Bars - hmmmm the girls were unsettled to have a former coach as judge but DD surprised me again by putting her pirouette. Her touch-warmup was nice, but she fell out of the handstand (feet didn't touch the floor, so what kind of deduction would that be???) went up again and made it on the 2nd attempt. Her giants looked better but still not great. SV 10 - score 7.0 This was the first meet that she has started at 10, so I was proud of her for putting in everything she needed.
Beam - brandy new beam routine but it looks much nicer than the old one, LOL. She got her connection but fell after her feet touched. 8.0
AA - last in her age group, but not lowest on her team or in the meet and she did her personal best on vault this season
