Two Bay State Trophies

While the optional times were at the Brestyans Invitational, the OTW compulsory teams were working hard at the Bay State Classic in Lowell. The scoring was a bit on the strict side, and the competition strong. Nonetheless, the OTW girls brought home two trophies and a pile of medals.

Level 5 Team Takes 4th
The 5s made their presence felt in Lowell. They took home the tall 4th place team trophy, amid strong competition. Every one of them got to go up to the winners platform. On Vault, in fact, everyone on the team got to go up. On each of the apparatus (apparati?) an OTW girl took a gold medal. Jordan took the gold on Vault with an 8.80. Sydney took a bronze with an 8.60. Summer, Maddy and Ellie were also up for Vault awards. On Bars, Maddy took the gold with a 9.00. Sydney took the bronze. On Beam, Jordan took the gold and Ellie won 5th. On Floor, Sydney took the gold with a 9.00. Maddy placed on Floor as well. All in all, quite a showing!

Level 6 Team Takes 3rd
The Level 6 Team was operating shorthanded, as Allie was out sick. This meant that every routine was important. Despite the generally lower scores, (tougher judging) each one of the OTW 6s, got to go up front during awards. Emma led the team on Vault, taking the bronze with a 9.0. Hanna took 4th. Bars was a bit of a problem for the team, but Hanna did place 5th. On Beam, Hanna took the silver with an 8.80. Hope won 4th. On Floor, Hanna took the bronze. Both Hope and Maddie F. won 5th in their age divisions. In the All Around, Hanna took 2nd. All of this medal harvesting added up to the team taking home the very tall 3rd place team trophy.

Level 4 Team
The Level 4 Team had a great time too, with each girl going home with a medal. Sarah took the bronze on beam with a 9.25, and the bronze for Bars and the All Around.

You did well, girls. Your hard work and determination is inspiring.
