Classic City Challenge


Maddie had her second level 4 meet this past Saturday. She did well. Her favorite part of the meet was during awards when 3 Gymdogs were there to give out medals. She was starstruck. The beam still got her, which is crazy because she was hitting that dismount all week and even during warmups. I think she just got stuck in the handstand and couldn't make the turn. She finished 10th all around. There were 20 girls in her group. I'm really glad we decided to compete level 4 instead of skipping it. There are a lot more girls beginning at level 4. When she was a level 3, I think the max at one meet was 12 in her group and that was at state. We are just very proud of her and she is looking a lot better. I know she will get that pesky dismount.....

1st meet of the season

We are proud of her! She did her best and that's all you can ask for. She had 14 girls in her age group. That was the biggest that she had ever had. She got 7th all around, 2 5th places and an 8th place. She didn't do the correct dismount on the beam. I think she lost her balance before she did the turn. Now we just really need to work on the bar routine. She has a private tomorrow and that's what I'm going to get her to concentrate on. Next meet is the weekend of the 24th. Pictures will be coming soon.
