Jordyn's 1st Meet - Level 7

Jordyn had her first level 7 gymnastics meet on Friday night, Zack stayed with Granny and spent some quality time with her eating her homemade cream puffs and watching cartoons. Sara, Savannah, me and Sam took Jordyn to her meet. It was nice having Sara and Savannah there, it made it not quite as stressful and much more fun.
Jordyn started off on beam, she made all her tricks including her front walkover, tick-tock backhandspring and her roundoff backtuck dismount. She had one big wabble where she nearly fell off the beam, but managed to hang on! She got an 8.65 which was GREAT!

She had some trouble on floor, it was really good but she was unable to make her front handspring front tuck, so received a .50 deduction right off the bat. She ended up with an 8.0 on floor.

On bars, she didn't connect her cast/squat on (.30 deduction), and didn't quite get over on her first try on her giants on high bar and had to jump down (.50 deduction). Her coach helped her back up on high bar and she then made her two giants and did a beautiful layout dismount. I think she ended up with a 7.75 on bars. So, had she made her two tricks, she would have had a high 8. She'll get it next time.

On vault, I thought she did beautiful vaults, and she stuck both landings, however, I guess she didn't get enough height and her score was low, only an 8.15. She is capable of a 9, so hopefully she can work on the height issue and get it next meet.

Overall, she ended up second on beam and got 5th and 6th on two of the other apparatus. I think she was disappointed, but hopefully it will motivate her to work harder on the things she has trouble with.

It has been raining and really foggy/misty in Utah for the past few days. Very odd, I feel like I am in Pescadero again!

Last Saturday was my last day at the YWCA, it was so sad to leave, but I made the right decision. I am loving my job at Ronald McDonald Charities and it is so nice to be just minutes from home!

We have two weeks until Jordyn's next meet and will update again then!
