Trisha just had the meet of her life!

Vault - 8.50 5th place
Bars - 8.40 8th place
Beam-8.60 1st place!!!!!
Floor - 8.90 4th place
All Around - 34.40 3rd place!!!!
(there were 13 girls in her age group)

She is so pumped up about this! She feels like she didn't even do her best, there are a few things she still needs to work on, and can see the potential of what she can do. I am sooooooo proud of her! Can you tell?

Amanda Borden and Lance Ringnold did make it to the meet. Amanda gave Trisha her 1st place medal and Lance gave her the 3rd place trophy. We got pictures of those events, plus they signed her t-shirt and we got a picture of Trisha with the both of them.

It was kind of in doubt weather or not the meet would even happen. That huge storm hit us this morning, and it started snowing at about 8:30am. By the time we left the house at 10:45, there was a good inch or more on the ground. It continued snowing all day. There is now a good 4 inches in our front yard, and the snow continues to fall.

Congrats to Trisha! Way to go! If she didn't even do "her best" (as she states) -- just imagine what lies ahead?! Only even better competitions, I suspect.
You have every right to be proud!

Great job, Trisha!

Remember, even though you said you didn't do your best, if you tried your best, that is what is important.

I used to love the feeling of knowing that my best was yet to come.

What level is Trisha? My daughter, Kayla, just started competing this fall - Level 4. She made it to Sectionals which I think is pretty great given she joined the team in June. She had her best meet ever at Sectionals, but didn't make it to State. However, all the girls from her team that did go to state were second year Level 4's. I'm not sure if she will stay level 4 for another year or move to level 5. She did have a couple of meets where she scored 32 or over, so she could move up, but having more time to get level 4 down and getting some blue ribbons would be good for her.

Gymnastic competion is an interesting business, isn't it?

You have only just begun, Karen!!! This is Trisha's third season at Level 8. She is 14 and has been competing since she was 8. Her past seasons were good, but I think this year we will finally have a real "kick butt" season. Her 34 All-Around qualifies her to move to Level 9 whenever she is ready. Probably not this year. Now we just need to work on those few skills she needs to perfect and move on to enjoy the season. I think she has a good chance to make it to Regionals in Kansas City (I think that is where they will be).
By the way, since you are in Ft. Collins, does your team go to the Pikes Peak Invitational in Colorado Springs? We will be there, and Trisha competes on Sunday morning, March 4th.

I don't know if GK Gymnastics will be at the Pikes Peak Invitational. As I'm sure you are aware of, the compulsory levels (4-6) compete in the fall and the optional levels are now. I looked at the optional schedule posted at the gym, thought that it looked like they had a lot of meets and didn't pay any more attention. Kayla had nine meets - three at her home gym - GK Gymnastics, five at Denver area gyms and Sectionals at Mountain Gymnastics in Fort Collins. Kayla is nine years old. She had taken some gymnastics classes when she was younger, but didn't start again until the fall when she was eight. She moved pretty quickly through the beginner and advanced beginner classes (not surprising due to her previous experience) and into the intermediate class. She moved to the pre-team class last spring and made the team by summer. There were six level 4's on her team, including Brandi who is the cutest seven year old now. Brandi had been working out with the team for some time and was finally old enough to compete (they have to be six years old - she turned seven during the season). She did quite well. I didn't realize it until the end of the season, but many of the girls were in their second year as level 4's. So most of them are moving up. Kayla probably isn't - her coach feels she needs more time, but Kayla wants to move up with her friends. Her coach didn't rule out her moving up - depends how fast she progresses. The level 4's and 5's practice at the same time so it doesn't have to be decided now - the meet season is most of the year away.

Congratulations on Trish's meet and hope she has the best of season's. GK's optional team did a practice meet at the same time as Kayla's last home meet (they had the judges there for two sessions, but only had enough teams for one and half, so they had two events as part of the meet and the optional team was competing in the other two events at the time). It gave younger girls (and parents) a chance to see the older girls in action. Pretty impressive!
