This weekend our team went to the Mardi Gras meet. It was in a college gym and it was set up really cool. I did good on two events and bad on two events. Monique did really good, but I'm starting to really hate level 2.
I guess I'll tell you my scores first. I went on Saturday evening and we started on vault which always seems to mess my beam up. Anyway, here are my scores:
vault: 6.5
bars: 9.25-1st place Sr. B
beam: 7.75-If I hadn't fallen I could have probably placed
floor: 8.9-3rd place Sr. B
all-around... I don't think I want to say, but I got last in Sr. B
Now here are Monique's scores, she went VERY early on Sunday morning. Like I said before, I'm starting to hate level 2. Not because it's a bad level, but because it's impossible for Monique to get the medals she deserves because of girls getting 9.8's and 38 all-arounds. She started on bars and she's pretty good on bars.
bars: 9.
beam: 8.85
floor: 8.5
vault: 8.75
all-around: 35.1-thats really good, but she got 2nd to last in her age group and so only got one medal. Thats why I really dont like level 2. Monique had one of her best meets ever and still got no medals other than all-around.
I think they judged hard on vault because Monique actually has a very good vault that should be scoring 9's and everyone said that my vault was better but it went from 7.95 to 6.5.
Cool meet, all gymnasts got shirts and mardi gras beads. It was also decorated very cool, too.

Thanks for sharing, Kelsey!
We are very proud of you and Monique. One day, the scores will fall into place - this will just help you to appreciate it more when it happens.
Gramma & I are looking forward to seeing both of you compete when we are down.
See you in 48 more days!
That's awesome Kelsey. Nothing will make Monique as good as she will be competing against those scores every time.
Yes, the Mardi Gras setting did sound cool!
Your scores were basically good ones! - I suppose different judges in different regions will be looking at different aspects, too, sigh!
I too SO enjoy your reports, Kelsey, and I understand about the frustration for Monique re her scores when she works and tries so hard. She is very tenacious, however, which will be to her benefit as she works to improve further yet! (Are there different standards for judging or are the other competitors in that level just closer to level 3?)
What are all you Georgians doing this 3 day weekend? We are counting down till we can be there with you, too! Love, Gramma
Was the meet in Atlanta, Kelsey?
The judges just look for form breaks and stuff, but some of the girls are just really good.
the meet was in marrietta, which is near atlanta
I'm glad you both performed well, even if it wasn't always the scores you hoped for. That would be a very frustrating aspect of gymnastics! But I'm glad you both enjoy it so much. :)
