Our Champion

Ry had her state gymnastics meet on Friday. She was sooooooo nervous, but did not need to be. She did her best and was awesome!!! She struggled with the vault again this time but did her personal best on the other 3 events. Her score for the beam was not her highest but overall it was her best beam performance. She was so smooth and graceful and balanced and then she fell on her cartwheel. She still scored a 8.275 and since the deduction for falling off is .8 she would have scored at least a 9. She got 9.0 on bars which earned her 5th place and a 9.35 on the floor which was good enough for 2nd. She got 8th place for all around out of over 30 girls. She was happy and we were very proud of her. At the same age I would not have worked so hard and competed in front of people in anything. Now she has the summer to work on her routines until the fall when the next competition season begins. Way to go RY! You are our champion!
