The Level 5 team before the meet...
They started out on beam. She scored 6.7. I can't get the video to upload. She had two falls, which are each a .5 deduction...ouch! Plus a deduction for not doing the cartwheel skill since she didn't land on the beam. It's interesting as I'm learning more and more about the sport and how much deductions are, etc. Every little thing counts! Pointed toes, straight legs, legs together on handstand, each skill in the routine...all things to look at!
Up next was floor. She scored 7.7.
Vault was next. I think I've said this before but Brynlee is probably the strongest vaulter on her team. She didn't stick her landing here but usually does. She got 8.15.
Bars was last. Brynlee still struggles with her kip and since she didn't do the skill, plus she fell (or was spotted by her coach on high bar), she got big time deductions. She scored a 4.85, but that wasn't the lowest score on bars at the meet! I think someone got a 2! Something to work on!
I can't remember what place Brynlee got in each event but she scored in the top 10 in all of the events except bars and she ended up 10th in the all around with a score of 27.4.
When the team awards were being announced, we (me and the other moms and even their coach) weren't really paying attention to the team all around awards, just because we knew their scores and weren't expecting much. They announced the 3rd and 2nd place teams and then said "1st place...Altius Gymnastics Academy!" We were all looked at each other like "did they just say Altius??" Yes, yes they did!
Alot of the comments after the meet were about how low the scores were. The judges were pretty strict at this meet but alot of it is the girls needing to fine tune everything. One of Brynlee's teammates got first place on bars (and usually has a flawless routine but did have a fall at this meet) with a score of 7.7. Like I said, there should be lots of improvement by the end of the season!
