The Level 7 team came on strong again, winning 1st place at the Bay State Classic and a trophy taller than a couple of the girls. It wasn't an easy ride to the top of the podium. Most of the girls were having a mix of good-day / bad-day. There were some distracting minor injuries to cope with, some threshold cold/flu symptoms and fatigue. The team was clearly tired. This was their third big meet weekend in a row. They rose above all that, however, and put out a performance to match last weekend.
The 7s didn't dominate any event, like they had in Hartford, but each of the team scattered stellar efforts across all events. Kayla nailed Vault with a 9.425. Team mates Jess, Allison and Melinda were close behind, all with 9s. On Bars, it was Allison taking the lead with a 9.325, team mates LaNaya and Hillary contributing 9s to the team total. Beam was a bit more trouble for almost everyone. Allison led again. On Floor, LaNaya shared the lead with Allison. Both had 9.4s, Courtney and Jess were close behind with 9.25s. Here are some photos of the meet.
Again, the depth of skill among the 7s won the day. Their team total of 110.675 put them in first place, over two sessions of level 7 competition. Way to go 7s! You've earned a break.
