First Gymnastics meet

On Saturday, Morgan competed for the first time in gymnastics. She has been taking classes for 4 years and finally is at a level to begin competing. She competed in 4 areas and did wonderful for her first competition. She started the day performing her floor routine.

She scored a 8.15 on her floor routine.

Next, she competed on vault. In Level 4 gymnastics, they don't use the actual vaulting table yet. They use the spring board onto a stack of mats. They get two attempts at the vault and then they keep the score of the best vault. She looked great during warmups and we were excited to watch. On her first vault, she tripped over the mat and didn't look great. Luckily she got to try again.

She scored a 8.2 on her vault.

Her next competition was on the uneven bars. Before the competition, Morgan was struggling with one of the tricks. She could only get it about half the time. On her bar routine, she made it look easy.

Her bar score was the highest of the day. She scored 8.85.

The final event for her team was the beam. The beam was her worst of the day she almost fell on her leap and wobbled a lot. Her final score for beam was 8.125. She was really disappointment, but it was a great first time.

When the results were announced, Morgan received a silver medal (they divided the girls into 3 categories based on scores). Her team took second place. They were very excited to place so well. This was the first year Nebo Gym competed with a level 4 team.
