Roads I Have Traveled: Final Edition

Until next year, that is.




Last weekend we traveled to a town 3 hours south to the Oregon Gymnastics Optionals State Meet. My daughter had an ok season; it was hard to tell how she would stack up against other Oregon teams since so many of her meets were out of state this year, so we were just hoping for a good meet with no big mistakes.

Here she is:



That little smile isn't giving anything away, is it. What is that around her neck? Take a closer look:



Looks like a medal to me. Ahh, beam. She does pretty well on beam if she can stay on it.



First place. She is the Oregon State Level 7 Age 12b Beam Champion. Not only is she the beam CHAMPION (had to say it again) BEAM CHAMPION CHAMPION CHAMPION
ahem
Not only is she the age 12b CHAMPION(they divided the 12 year olds into 2 age groups) but since she scored a 9.725 she had the highest score in the entire session (50 some girls) and the entire previous session (another 50 some girls). There was only one other score higher (9.875 OMG) in the last session (50 some girls). There are no special awards for that, but there should be. Hmpf.

Her bars score was 8.95--tied her season best. Floor: 9.35 (5th place), Vault 9.05. All Around: 37.075, an all time personal best. It was good for 4th place out of about 18 girls in her age group. No place on bars or vault since they only went out to 6th place, but she got 7th or so on vault and maybe 8th on bars. All around a very good meet.
