2008 Pennsylvania Level 8 State Championships

Well yeah... this was a really good meet for me. I am really proud of myself. When we got there they took our pictures and we started warm-up. It was just Rachel and I and it felt really weird. Even though we were only missing one person, it still felt like some dramatic change occurred. We started on vault. I was really nervous to be doing tsuk pike but it turned out to be really good. When I did my vault, it felt like all the rest of the ones that I normally do, but this time Sergei said that it was really good. I did my two vaults and my score was up.......... 9.675! I got first place this this score... I'm so happy to be Pennsylvania Vault champ! Then was bars... I worried most on this event. We went on two different bars but on the first set of bars, I didn't do routine. My routine was to do a free-hip on the low bar but I just broke it up and did low bars and high bars. Then on the other bar I did like one routine and then we started competition. I did my routine fine except on my low bar, my hand slipped off. I didn't fall or anything and I just kept going. My score was a 9.1 with 15th place. Then was beam. I warmed up and I did my back walkover back tuck and stuck it twice. Then when I went for my routine....I just had to fall off! I was soooooo mad! My score was still pretty good though and I got a 8.925 with 13th place. Now for my favorite event of all, FLOOR! Instead of doing a front handspring front full, I just did a layout to save my score. I ended up getting a 9.475 with 4th place. My all around was a 37.175 and I got 4th place. THIS MEANS I MADE IT TO REGIONALS! I'm so happy that I made it. Actually our whole level 8 team made it! Good luck to all level 8's at regionals!

Friendship Classic

Hey sorry I'm late again... Well anyways I had a meet in Pottsville, Pennsylvania called The Friendship Classic. My first event was beam. I warmed up and did all of my skills and then in competition I fell on my back walkover back tuck and my score was a 9.0 which was fourth place. Next was floor... my favorite. I did the same tumbling passes and my score was a 9.575 with third place. We rotated to vault next. I did tsuk tuck and my score was a 9.35. The tsuk tuck has a start value of 9.8 so remember that. I got second place. Last was bars... YIKES! Unfortunately I did pretty bad and got a 7.9... Yeah, I didn't place. Then we went into the auditorium and did all around. My all around was a 35.825 and I got fifth place! I got this really cool trophy that spun in circles and I have to say that really enjoyed myself. Well that was pretty much my meet.....
