Erica's First Gymnastics Meet

Erica started her morning a little early.  
She had to be warming up by 7:45 at her meet.  She was so excited!  I recorded each one of her events.  It would be nice if I knew anything about the way that they score these routines, but I have no clue.  So I just clap and say "YAY!"

The girls all marched in.  I love Erica's face as she walks in.  She looks so proud and excited!


Her first event was bars:
 She scored an 8.5 and earned a 10th place!

Next she performed on the beam:
 
On beam she scored an 8.475 and won 7th place!

She did her floor routine next:
Her floor routine earned her an 8 and got an 8th place ribbon.  This event is the one that I think is her strength, so it would be interesting to find out what it is that gives her the deductions.

And she finished up with her vaults:
She scored an 8.7 on vault, but didn't place.

Her team took 2nd in the competition

And Erica ended up winning 7th place overall.  We were so excited she did so well on her first competition!!

Erica and her Bestie!!
