Level 6 Team Brings Home an Eagle


The Level 6 team took to the floor Saturday morning in Hartford. They brought back the bronze eagle trophy for the third place team victory at this regional scale event.

Scoring was tough on Vault, but Jamie, Amanda and Kelly still managed to bring home a gold medal on that event. Bars was a bit tough too, but Madison and Amanda received the gold for their Bars routines. Beam saw Madison stand up for the gold with her 9.3. On Floor, the sixes were going strong. Madison, Kelly, Amanda, Jamie and Morgan won a medal for their Floor routines.

The big story for the 6's meet was MacKenzie. She has been out for several weeks with her sore knee in a brace. She came to Hartford, intending to cheer on her team mates from the sidelines. The competitor's spirit, however, is not easily kept on the sidelines. She insisted on competing on at least Bars. She omitted skills that were a risk to her knee but still did well enough to win a medal! Way to go, MacKenzie!

In the All-Around, Amanda and Madison took home a gold, Jamie a silver. All those medals added up. Their bronze eagle is proof. Good job 6s!
