We had the meeting this past Saturday with Beth and her main two coaches. They both say there isn't any question about her moving up, so she's happy. Apparently the changes mean level 8 will be easier?? Her female head coach said that it'll be nice for those that struggle, but it'll be less of a challenge for Beth--nice to hear they think so much of her .
Sad to hear that one of her level 7 teammates is quitting though--she's going to HS. She did struggle this year, but had made it to State and finished strong. Small level 8 team next year (3 or 4) unless some of the current level 8s don't move to 9 (they all want to, but the coaches don't think they will all have the skills--guess we'll see!).
And next year we might only do ONE travel meet (because of rising costs)--definitely going to the Chicago meet though!!
The bummer--they said they're only taking 8s that make the Super 8 team to Regionals (since it's a flight this next year rather than a drive). I was bummed--i'd pay to have Beth compete as I think Regionals for the first time is a big deal. Making Super 8 is a possibility, but not a strong one LOL!
