Older DD had her 2nd level 5 meet this weekend. It was a 2 hr drive with a 4:00 start time...pretty nice.
Overall she did great and we are very proud of her. She was dealing with a bad rip this week and she overcame that and did a great bar routine. If she gets her 2nd cast a little higher it could be fabulous I think! She scored a 9.0 which was 5th, I think.
Beam was good, she gave away some points by not hitting her handstand vertical. Ugh! She had a 8.9, she placed 7th maybe? Not sure.
Floor...the backhandsprings got her. She struggles so much with this. The last meet she pulled out the better ones and had a higher floor score. This meet, well, the "other" ones were back. I thought the rest of the routine was pretty. Score 8.75 and no place.
Vault...I didn't even watch it. It was in the back of the gym behind the bleachers and judging was CRAZY TOUGH. High score of the day was 8.6 or something like that. She had a 7.55...no place...but coach said this vault was better than her last meet so that's good.
Overall 34.2 and 6th place AA! So no 36 but her best score of the season so far!
Team got 1st place AA...the girls were so happy! My DD was THRILLED with her bars score, it is her favorite event and she takes pride in it. She had a scary fall off at the last meet and had a low score...so she definitely redeemed herself with her bars at this meet! Yay!
