Level 4 - 6 Sectional #2, March 13, 2010

Sectional #2 for Levels 4 – 6 was held Saturday March 13, 2010 in Dover, New Hampshire. The Level 4 team was especially exciting to watch as the team was double its usual size thanks to the addition of Hannah, Ashlyn, Llexi, and Rachel, but was sad to be missing Danielle. Krystiana (9.35) Taylor (9.175), and Ashlyn (8.9), achieved the team’s highest vault scores. Ashlyn also had the team’s highest bars (8.95) score. Krystiana (8.85) and Lexi (8.8) followed closely behind. Hannah (8.9), Taylor (8.8) and Krystiana (8.775) had the team’s top three beam scores. Krystiana dominated floor with a beautiful 9.2 routine. Lexi (8.9) and Taylor (8.7) achieved the team’s 2nd and third highest scores on floor. Rachel achieved her highest score (8.4) on floor as well. The top three AAs for the team were achieved by the very camera- shy (NOT!) Krystiana (36.175 – wow!!), Taylor (35.425), and Lexi (34.925). Lexi placed 1st AA and Krystiana placed 2nd AA in their age groups. Great jobs girls! We can’t wait for you to knock our socks off at States!

Emily and Paige were the only 2 OTW Level 5 competitors. Both of their best scores were achieved on floor. Emily scored 9.25 and Paige scored 8.1.
