On Saturday, all the Level 8 Regional qualifiers met at Off the Wall's gym for their Regional Team Workout. Of special interest to OTW fans is the "Seniors" team (15+) which includes our own Jess, LaNaya and Melinda. The rest of this Senior Team includes, Tori, Eliza and Hayley from Atlantic and another Haley from Lakes Region. They started out the practice with some team-building exercises, like the hoola-hoop-pass challenge on Beam, as pictured here. Despite the heat, they worked on their routines as they would at any other practice. What was added was getting familiar with each other a little more. Having competed against each other all year, these seven girls knew each other and were already on good sportsmanship terms with them all. Saturday's practice helped them exchange the prior friendly rivalry for team spirit. On next Saturday morning (bright and early at 8 a.m.), these seven girls will be the New Hampshire Team, competing against the best gymnasts that six other states can muster.Go get 'em Jess, LaNaya and Melinda. It's really cool that OTW's entire Level 8 team is part of the New Hampshire Team at this year's Regionals.
