I'll Tumble For Ya!

Sis's last meet of the season was at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports!  It's quite a complex.  It was our first time there and it was a bit intimidating for our little gymnast.  We got there early so we wouldn't have to rush and she could have time to settle in before warm ups at noon.


A great bonus for this meet was that Nanny was able to come along with us to Orlando to see Sissy compete.  She was thrilled to have an extra fan cheering her on from the stands!  We even had signs to hold up so she could see us cheering for her from the stands!  Not that she can't hear Momma's voice loud and clear before she starts her event!  All those years as a PE teacher/coach have paid off!


Sis and her teammates being introduced at the meet!  2 girls were sick and couldn't make it.  

Sis was the first athlete to compete in the first event of the meet.  A bit nerve wracking, but she did a good job considering it was BEAM!


Next they moved to floor.  The floor judges were TOUGH!  I was surprised how low all the girls scores were, but at least it was consistent.


Next she moved onto her favorite...Vault!


Her last event was bars.  She still struggles with her mill circle, but every week it gets a little better.  Just got to get her leg straight the entire way around and her scores will go up!



This meet included some older kids in her awards group.  Considering how many teams and kids at this meet, she did very well.

She loved sharing 2nd place with her buddy Darryelle in vault!

Love seeing that proud smile on her face.  I also loved watching her cheer for the other girls who earned medals as well.

She earned medals in all 4 events.  She improved her scores in 2 events, stayed the same in one and went down in another - floor, where the tough judges were located.  She was pleased with her performance and was happy to add more medals to her collection!

Once again, the Level 2's from North Florida have earned 1st Place!  The girls were very pleased with their team performance!  

Sis was so excited to have another meet under her belt.  She was nervous again before warm up, but thankfully this time it didn't last long and there weren't any tears.  She gets herself worked up but once she starts warm up, she gets in the zone!
