Ok, first off, thank you to catesmom for the squat on fairy. She arrived on time and did her job just perfect!
I stayed on the floor to help the coach (since I have a professional number as a meet director). Just to help them keep lined up in order and stuff. So, I didn't really get to watch DD. She actually said she didn't want me to watch too much - I think we were both afraid we'd make eye contact with eachother! Her goal was a 36 AA.
They started on floor. DD scored a 9.4 for 1st place! Then vault where she scored an 8.85 for 4th. Vault is coming along. Second vault was on her bad leg. It's the highest she's scored, but she's determined now to get it up in the 9's. Then it's off to bars. She not completely horizontal in cast, but almost there. Tap swings and all look great from what I watch, and everything connects. Scores a 9.45 for 1st! (3rd meeting placing 1st on bars). Yeah. Okay, so I figure she only needs an 8.3 on BB to hit her goal. They rotate to beam, and the other flight hadn't even warmed up yet. Coach did a great job keeping them moving and focused. Had a long wait. Scores a 9.5 on BB for 1st place! Finishes with a 37.2 AA and 1st Place! She's never scored a 37 before, and never finished 1st on BB, FX or AA! Okay, now I wish I had brought my video tape so I could actually see her. Very proud of DD. Team finished 2nd, only slight behind team that had 3 times as many girls.
Thanks for all good luck wishes!
