I was hoping my DD would qualify for L9 states in her first year. She is not typically a high scorer. Well an injury in Dec. cut her meets down to 2 to qualify. Her 1st L9 meet wasn't awful but AA was 29.05 (beam, UGH!). Now she only has one more shot to reach 32 to qualify for state meet. I was checking scores of other gymnasts who I know are on 2nd year and they are hovering around 31-33. Practices have been ify so we'll just have to wait and see how next weekend goes. Hoping for the best but so proud she made it to L9. She is the only one at our gym and in our town for that matter!
