This wasn't quite the day for the Level 8 Senior New Hampshire team at this year's Level 8 Regionals competition. None of the team were having their best days. The quick bottom line is that the New Hampshire team was edged out of placing by the All-State Team. The meet itself had a lack of formality which one should expect with a regional competition. A high school gym, just one set of equipment, problems with score flashing and a balky CD player, all lent an atmosphere of a small local qualifier. Not quite the venue we would have liked as the send-off meet for our two seniors, Jess and Melinda. Nonetheless, during awards, Jess and Melinda were awarded plaques in recognition of their many years in USA Gymnastics. LaNaya wasn't having her best meet ever, but still took home two medals. She placed 8th on Beam with a 9.10 and 14th on Floor with a 9.075. Haley Anderson, Atlantic's top Level 8 senior, similarly placed 8th (Vault) and 14th (Beam).
