WAG States!

[emilykatherine]

States are this weekend! I'm getting exited. We leave tomorrow and my best friend gets to come. The only thing I'm not excited for is I have to compete alone because of they way the age/sessions are, and in awards they go down all the way to last place so for bars, vault, and aa I'll be in last.

well, it could be worse. like not competing at all.

Yup, I second Dunno. My DD doesn't get to go to state at all. She qualified as an event specialist, but coaches didn't want her to go that route. Bummer because she might have had a shot at regionals on one or both specialist events. Didn't qualify in AA because she is very weak on bars and battling some beam fear issues.

So, enjoy the moment, do your best and have fun. You will do great!

After all that's happened this season I'm surprised that I stayed in one piece so I can! I really exited state is always my favorite.

I am so glad your friend is able to go and support you. Go out there and rock beam and floor!

I got 4th on floor, and fell on my turn on beam, but I made my connection and stayed on so it was a good day

fell on my turn on beam

What is it with gymnasts that can stick crazy flips on 4 inches but can't stay on the beam or not have major balance issues with these turns?!

But anyway congrats on your accomplishments.

Well after I calmed down from crying, we started talking about it and we think I got to exited from doing my connection I over spun way to much

Thanks... Did your daughter compete?

She did! 2nd on vault, 4th on bars, 5th All Around. 2nd place team. Thank you for asking.

Is she a level 3 I was look at the little kids scores from my gym and there was a girl who was 5,2, and 4. If so I think my team beat your daughter team by that little margin. Also if it is your daughter she had a really good vault score!

She is Level 3. And if your gym beat ours by a measly .48, then YES - that's us! I had no idea you were in the same city! Did you know that your coaches were trained by our owner/HC?

(Actually I'm not sure that's saying much. Almost ALL the owner/HCs in middle TN started with and were trained by our owner. LOL!)

Yes I did! I think both of my coaches were, but I'm not 100% sure, and yeah the team scores were so close we just wanted to eat the team that came in 3rd because at te last meet we tied with them and they got 1st because of the tie breaker!

LOL! That was one of the teams (yours being the other) we wanted to beat. Julie has her team practically unbeatable on beam. VERY tough.

If you're coached by either one of the owners, then our HC was the one who trained them. There is a bit of...friction... there due to the way they left the gym though which is why we don't attend each others meets.

Yes both of my coaches own the gym, and yes I know all about the friction. I never did gym at your gym I've just heard what people tell me and I believe most of the friction is just between one coach. I also think one of my coaches was fired, but I forget that was a long time ago, I wish we could go to the meet you guy just had... USA invatational I think, they way you do it is really cool
