Halloween Haunt Meet

What a terrific turn out this week at the Halloween Haunt meet down in Lafayette, IN! The weekend started out with a laugh-able morning as we all got up, checked out of our hotel rooms, and were on the road headed to the meet an hour earlier than needed!! Thanks very much to some very understanding parents and very patient gymnasts we took it in stride and decided to enjoy a leisurely breakfast as a group at a local breakfast joint right in between the hotel and gym. Once we finally arrived and began to compete I was extremely excited to start off with such a bang!!! Floor was our first event and not one of the girls scored below 8, with one of our little stars, Ziggy, scoring an amazing 9.225!!!!!!!!! With such a solid start and the girls feeling good I was pleased to move to our next and best event vault where as I anticipated we did extremely well scoring two 9.0's and a career best 8.8 for Allison Mundell ( aka money) ! Next was bars where we had some shining starts but didn't quite compete as I know we are capable so I have plenty of things to work with them on in the coming weeks... Lastly we went to beam which seems to be our weakest event and although some of the girls did wonderfully, others just cant quite seem to put it all together up there under the pressure of a meet. I am however very happy to report that this past Wednesday we had a GREAT beam workout as a team and if we continue to stay focused at practice and make progress like Wednesday I know they will be ready for the next meet! Although I know they can do better than they have what makes me the happiest is seeing how happy they all are being involved in this amazing sport and the GREAT attitudes those girls posses!!! It brightens your day just being around them! Good luck next meet girls and keep working hard!...

Also I put a few pictures in, the first one is of the whole group (at least those at the meet) the second one is Allison (money) on the left and Ashley on the right,the one below it is Sarah (Ziggy) on the left and Erika (Bob) on the right!
