The Level 10s kicked off the Tim Daggett National Invitational Friday evening February 3, 2011 at the Mount Holyoke Sports Complex in South Hadley, MA. Olympian Tim Daggett was on hand to welcome the gymnasts and the spectators. Jackie and Nicole were on hand to cheer on Allison and Alyssa. The gym was split into both Mens and Womens competition areas. Both sides were awesome to watch! The Mens high bar was a particular favorite among our team girls and parents. The Mens routines jammed packed with high level skills and release moves looked like an Olympic competition at times! Really incredible gymnastics – so fun to watch!
