Leo

Seriously love the new leo's this year.

New Beam routine

Here is Maddie's new beam routine for Xcel Gold. Love it. She learned it 2 days prior to me taping this so it's a little rough.

Classic City Challenge

Boy are we glad this meet is over.  Maddie did a beautiful job, but the scores were so low.  I knew floor would be low because I saw the mistakes she made (8.75).  I knew bars were going to be low, but so thankful she hit her kips (7.85).  Vault and Beam I knew would be her strongest events.  She always does well.  She got a 7.95 on vault and a 8.575 on beam.  I'm still realing over those especially watching other girls who competed prior and after who got higher and had more bobbles.  One of them didn't even complete a skill.  Oh well - it's done.  No more level 5 until next August when she will complete the new level 5 which is the old level 6.... confusing isn't it :).  Now we are on to what she loves.  The Xcel season starts in January.  So excited for that.  She's also been working on new skills at gym.  She has her back walkover on beam, ro/bhs/bt on floor and front punch.  Just needs to keep working on the kip and get a clear hip circle on bars.
