First Gymnastics Tournament

Chloe had her first meet for competitive gymnastics.  It was a pre-season meet - the season really begins in January.
It was a fantastic experience for her.  She was scored by professional judges, saw what the other gymnasts her age and level were able to do, and really learned a ton.

We drove all the way to Rock Springs, WY for this meet - in the first bad storm of the season.  Thankfully we made it there and back safely.  Wowza, though, the tournament itself almost killed us.  It was long.  And we were all there.  The whole time.  Yikes.

This was about Chloe, though.

She was last on bars (she's improved SO much on them since then), 5th? on beam, 4th? on floor, and 2nd on vault.  That was so thrilling for her - getting up on the podium!  A fun taste of what's to come for her.

I love seeing these pictures. I am glad you shared. Congrats to your daughter for her success and hard work!

Will she compete much now that January has arrived?
