So last night in practice a girl falls and breaks her arm. EMS comes in and there are all these paramedics and they wheel her out on a stretcher. So this is one of dd's teammates so of course all the girls are upset about it, some more than others. So anyway, one of the girls comes up to dd and...

Boo hoo! My dd competes on Friday morning. We will probably drive in Thursday night. I was hoping she didnt compete til Sat or Sun. Anywhoo,we are so excited though! This is our first away meet and I hear this meet is awesome!

wow, sounds like she did great! see, my gym doesnt give us our daughters stats immediately. i wish they did. there was another post on here where a guy was explaining how to read the scores. look for a recent post on this site about tops and a brag alert. i think his name was iggy1988. this...
