Taylor's State Meet (Gymnastics 2009)

Well, after returning from NY we went to New Castle Field House to watch Tay compete for State. Mamaw and Grampa came to watch too. It was amazing to watch how well Tay did and how far she has come! Her daddy and I couldn't be more proud. She came home with a participation medal and medals in 3 events (uneven bars, beam, vault) plus an All Around medal!!!! How exciting! She did not know how to react. Her floor routine suffers some d/t her not having her bridge kick over skill quite yet. She is working hard to obtain that skill. She has been moved back up with her team to level 4 after having a heart to heart with the coaches and the head coach of Tay's gym. Thank God for that little miracle. That was stressful, but never the less we ultimately got what we hoped for and are Thankful. She will have to work hard on a couple level 3 skills and press forward with her new level 4 skills all at the same time. Time is on our side, we don't start competing again until end of this year, so she can work hard thru this summer and we have every bit of confidence that she will meet her goals! Here are some pics of her meet. Enjoy!
