Strong first meet for Optional Teams



As this first meet of the season, many of our gymnasts felt that familiar mixture of anxiety, excitement and determination. In the first rotation, it was clear that determination took over.

In Level 9, Kenna took third on Bars, 4th on Beam and placed 2nd in the All-Around. Bri took blue ribbons on Vault, Beam and Floor.

In Level 8, Alyssa's first meet as an 8 was great. She placed 3rd on Vault, 1st on Bars with a 9.225, 2nd on Beam with a 9.075 and took 1st on Floor. Her All-Around of 35.85 took first place too.

The Level 7 team got off to a strong start too. In the 12 yr old group, Allison and Leigh took first and second in the All-Around. Leigh scored a 9.3 on Beam. Allison had a 9.375 on Vault. The Beam was not going well for many of the rest of the team.

Vault, however, was blazing. Every member of the Level 7 team scored 9-somethings on Vault. Jess topped the charts with a 9.6. Hillary and Kayla weren't far behind with a 9.5 and 9.45. Bars went pretty well too, with OTW girls taking the top three on the podium. LaNaya took 1st with a 9.5, Jess 2nd with 9.4 and Melinda 3rd with 9.35. In the 13-14 yr old group, Kayla, Hillary and Courtney took their turn dominating the podium, taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the All-Around.
