This year the way the meet schedule worked out was that Kathy's first meet and her last meet were at the same gym. Her first meet, back in October, was NOT pretty. She scratched on bars, got a 4.85 on vault, and a 21.3 AA. That day I told her, "Your last meet of the season is here too. Just imagine how much better you'll be the next time you compete here!" Today was that last meet. Here are her scores...
Beam: 9.3 (1st!)
Floor: 8.65
Vault: 8.4 (2nd)
Bars: 8.7 (2nd)
AA: 35.05 (2nd)
Her level 5 team also got 1st place!
It was a league meet, so the competition was not as stiff as some meets, but even so, I am so proud of her. Back in October, while I was sure her scores would improve (at least I sure as heck hoped so), I wouldn't have believed she'd top a 35 before the season was out!
Sectionals in 2 weeks with fingers crossed she'll qualify for States!!!
Oh, AND today is her 10th birthday (and, of equal importance, it is also her twin sister's 10th birthday)! I am the mother of two children in the double digits! Where did the time go????
