Hurricane

hurricane meet LV4 girlsAnother early day in our gymnastics world. We had to be out of the house by 715AM to get to the meet on time.

The girls had a blast hanging out before the meet with their teammates and getting loose. We love this tight-nit group of girls, they make practice and meets fun!

Coach Natalie does such a great job with these girls, it’s amazing. She has taught them well and these four little girls are showing our area that our gym is a force to be reckoned with.

The girls once again rocked the floor and Madison redeemed herself from placing 22 AA (all-around) out of 40 girls at the Dave Brown Memorial meet to placing 14th AA, narrowly missing the podium by .10 of a point!!! Nonetheless, we were all so excited and proud of everyone!!!

***to qualify for State Championship a gymnast must score a minimum of a 33.0, so far so good, they just need to be on their game at the March sectional and they both will be on their way to State Championship Meet Mother’s Day weekend***
