Level 8 Regionals

LEVEL 8 REGIONALS - 2008

Ok wow! I'm so sorry that this is really late! I guess I was getting a little lazy!

Well anyways... about Regionals, it was GREAT! I had a really awesome meet and I'm really proud of myself. When we first got there we got our leotards. They are mostly black with purple specks all over and the back is purple velvet. Then we started to warm- up.

The Pennsylvania team joined together and started there first event (which was bars).
The bars felt good and sturdy except for the fact that I kept hitting my feet on the low bar really hard. I did a pretty good routine and the judges gave me a score of 9.275 which was 15th place (haha!).

Then we had beam...(I thought) DON, DON, DON!! You remember how I always had trouble falling off?!? Well that day had to be a miracle because somehow I didn't fall off on my connection!! YAY! My routine was pretty wabbly though... teehee! Scored 9.325 and came in 3rd place. After we finished beam, my back started to bug me. It only hurt me a little but I REFUSED to stop competing.

So then was floor. This was a pain in the butt because my back was THROBBING but somehow I dealt with it. My score was a 9.45 but I got 10th place! The scores on floor were SUPER high!

Then last was vault. This had to hurt the most. The running, the pounding, the landing all hurt my back soooooo much! I tried my best and still did my regular vault
(tsuk pike) and got a 9.55 with 2nd place.

Then came all around. Everyone kept saying that I was the regional champion but something in me said that I wasn't. I knew that SOMEONE just had to beat me... which was true... heh.

I got second place all around Regional with a 37.6.
And thats my Level 8 Regionals
(my first Regionals EVER! YAY!)

P.S. Pennsylvania got first place in team... yeahh.. WE ROCK!
