January 26th Level 4 WinterFest

Huh, that did not work they way I wanted it to. I am very new at his sort of technology, silly I know. I will figure out a better way to do this next time!

Congrats to all our level 4 athletes! You showed that you have some great stuff!! The first meet is always a little rough becuase it is such a new experience for our new level 4 gymnasts. This meet was especially different because we were all in one group when typically we would be split into two groups. We also had a coach who was sick and one who could not attend becuase she was not allowed to leave on a Friday during her student teaching!

So in spite of all these obstacles, the girls looked great. We have a lot of very young level 4's this year and they showed they could cut it and hang with the big girls. We received compliments from judges and coaches from other gyms also. Everyone is always impressed with how awesome the uniforms are, how professional our program is run and how well poised, polished and perfected our gymnasts are for this level!

The second year level 4's were loaded with beautiful routines and helped to set a great example for the new girls. Several new level 4 girls made some history by achieving a Blue ribbon at thier very first meet. This is not typical, especially with real judges! Congrats to Jordan Stellini for achieving Blue ribbons on all four events. Also, congrats to Lydia Martin who nailed her first ever level 5 beam routine, great cartwheel! We also won the handstand contest in almost every age group we represented! Way to go girls! I could not be more proud of your hard work and accomplishments! Keep it up!
