First Sectional Highlights

OTW's compulsory teams had their first Sectional of the Spring '08 season this weekend at Granite State in Bow. After a couple of out-of-state invitationals, this was the girls' chance to get focused on the state competition again.
The Level 4 Team were quite the tigers. All of them easily qualified for States, but went above and beyond that. Maddy took 1st on Vault. Jordan scored a 9.25. On Bars, Jordan scored another 9.25, taking 1st. Maddy and Summer shared 2nd. On Beam, the whole team was hot -- all of them scoring in the 9s. Ellie, 9.00, Summer 9.025, Maddy a 9.20, Emma a 9.35 and Jordan a 9.475. Sakes! On Floor, the team put up some more impressive scores. Maddy took 1st with a 9.425. Emma racked up a 9.50. In the 9-10 age group, the OTW girls swept the platform with Jordan, Maddy and Summer taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Emma took 1st in the younger group.
The Level 5 Team also took home many ribbons. On Beam, Hope placed 1st, Emma tied for 3rd, Hanna took 4th. On Vault, it was Hanna's turn to take the blue ribbon, Hope took 2nd in her age group. Emma took 3rd. On Beam, Allie wowed the judges, taking 1st with a whopping 9.50. Hope again took 1st in her age group. Emma took 3rd with a 9.025. It was on Floor that the whole Level 5 Team hit their stride. Everyone placed. Hope took 1st (again). Hanna took 2nd with a 9.15. Emma and Madison tied for 4th with a 9.05. Allie took 3rd with a 9.075. Sydney took 6th.
The Level 6 Team had its ups and downs but also brought home a harvest of ribbons, many of them blue. Ann took 1st on all events in her age group. On Vault, Allie tied for 1st. Emily took 6th. On Bars, Allie took 2nd, Emily 7th. On Beam, Nicole took 1st in her age group, Jackie 5th, Allie 1st (with a 9.20). On Floor, Jackie took 1st with a 9.125, Allie took 2nd. Both Ann and Allie took 1st in their All Arounds. Nicole and Jackie took 2nds in theirs.

Good work girls.
