Maggie had her very first competition 2 weeks ago. The meet was in Eden Prairie at Legacy Gymnastics. It was kind of nice that it was an in-gym meet. The feel was much more homey and practice like than if it had been held at a highschool or something. She has 8 girls on her team - Makenna, Maggie, Lauren, Kendall, Haley, Quinn, Marina and Molly.
Here they are warming up for beam. Maggie's on the right with her arms out to the side.
She did great for her first meet. Floor was first and she did pretty good - a little goof on her round off back handspring, but a good start. I think her score was a 7.65. Next was vault and she scored a great 8.9! So close to that 9.0!!! Bars came next and that was a disaster. 2 falls, but what do you do. She only scored a 7.05 on that one. Definitely room for improvement and she has as one of her goals to make her bar routine this weekend at her second meet. Beam was last and she wobbled her way through, but stayed on. Yay! I think her beam score was a 7.35. Anyway, her scores were enough to qualify her to the state meet. All her teammates except one qualified to state in their first meet. Pretty good I'd say!
Maya really wanted to get onto the floor. She had to settle for sitting on the concrete floor though. We had to call the sister of a teammate to bring an emergency leotard, since she forgot hers. : )
As a team the girls took second place out of 6 teams! They were so excited to get that big trophy that is now proudly displayed in the gym.
Happy girls after the meet. Great job girlies! Their next meet is this Saturday bright and early! Wish them luck!
