Today's meet was held in honor of a gymnastics judge who passed away from breast cancer. The proceeds from the meet are being donated to charity! When we arrived to the meet, I was given a the opportunity to write a special tribute to my grandfather and aunt Sherry on a white paper bag - both of whom passed away from cancer! The plan from the group hosting this meet was to make the bags into luminaires (using glow necklaces) and light them all at the end of the meet! I hope they post pictures on Facebook - I will post the link here if they do! The team bought special leos to wear to the meet - they are black with pink trim with a breast cancer ribbon made out of crystals! Today, Sophia's group started out on bars! I always like her doing bars first - gets them out of the way! Sophia scored a 8.950 for her routine! Her casts look fantastic but she is still transitioning from doing a squat on to a pike on - she is improving every day!! This score earned her a 2nd place medal! Next up, beam! Sophia rocked the beam today!! She had a few wiggles but nothing too major and earned her a score of 9.375 for a 1st place finish! Floor was next. Sophia got a 9.000 on her routine! She had a small error doing her handstand after the back extension roll - but the rest of the routine looked great! She placed 7th in her age group for this! Finally, Sophia moved onto vault! It was kind of nice being able to really see her do her vaults! Most meets have the vault far away from where the spectators sit - but today, the vault was super close! Sophia rocked her vaults and scored 9.100 for a 1st place medal!! Finally, we came to the all-around placements! Sophia was in the intermediate age group and took home the 1st place trophy with a score of 36.425!! She did great today and I am super proud of her!! Sophia's next meet is this Friday at the Brestyan's Invitational!
Results from the KCL invitational can be found at http://region6usag.org/content/2012-kids-celebrate-life-classic-results - Sophia is under session 5 intermediate! By the way, this meet earned over $30,000 to donate to the charities!!
