Derby Classic 2010

Last weekend Molly competed at the Derby Classic in Louisville, KY.

Molly turned in her 4th straight 1st place all-around for her age group.  The competition was tough for this meet, especially in the 11 and 12 year old age groups.  Deveau’s of Indiana took first place for the team, with CGA a much closer than anticipated 2nd place.

We had a bit of a crisis, Molly left her competition leotard at home so she had to use her backup leo.  Good thing she had that with her.

Molly’s routines are below:

Queen City Meet

Last weekend was the local Queen City Gymnastics meet.   The meet was held in the Ronnie Grandison Gym that’s attached to the Kids First complex.  Queen City folks, if you’re listening, the Gym is too small.  The area for parents and spectators is too tight.  Please choose a larger location next year.

Molly did well, notching her 3rd first place all around in a row.  Her individual places were 8th, 5th, and 2 second place.   Her teammates, Kendra, Andrea, and Kierstan had outstanding meets with really rocking scores.

The meet scores are posted here.

Molly’s routines at this meet are blow.

Crackin the top 100

Tonight while poking around the internet Claudine Google’d Molly.

In the process she stumbled upon My Meet Scores.com.  Which is a site which compiles meet scores.  Not every meet is included, in fact the last two we’ve been to are not there.  The Gatlinburg meet doesn’t appear anywhere.

So far this year Molly has cracked the Top 100 (#78) at the time of writing this with a Level 6 Bar score of. 9.275

Her overview page is here, which lists her personal bests that they have:

The CGA Team page is here.

Which includes girls from our Gym who have broken into the top 100.

To say we are proud is an understatement.

It will be interesting to see how this changes in the upcoming weeks.  A number of CGA girls have had break out meets and we are proud of all the girls. 

Gatlinburg, 2010

Last weekend Molly had a meet in Gatlinburg, TN.   Same as last time we snagged a chalet in the mountains and spent the weekend with mom and dad.   We got our signals crossed though when Molly’s competition day changed from Saturday to Sunday (which meant we’d stay Sat-Monday and not Fri-Sunday).  So mom and dad had to get out of Town Sunday night.

Turned out with the snow that was probably a good thing.

For the individual events she was 2nd on Bars, Beam, Floor, and 8th in Vault but that was good enough to be first place all-around with a pretty good margin. 

She had a good meet.

Her routines are on youtube below (in high-def even).   I didn’t get her bar routine this time.

Molly, Coaches Spectacular

Videos of Molly’s Level 6 routines from Coaches Spectacular on Sunday Jan 17th.   I didn’t record her vault.  She took 2nd place all around in her age group.

Movies taken with my Cannon SX-10 Camera, so they aren’t the best, but they will do.
