Gracie's 3rd competition at Trousdell Gym in Tallahassee!
So gymnastics is an awesome sport, but let me tell you never know what will happen and it's so subjective. However our princess continues to shine! Gracie's first event was the beam (her least favorite) and she was first to go! Her forward roll was great and then plop she slid off of the beam and then stumbled getting back on to the beam, so that counted as two falls. I felt so bad for her, she started crying when she was finished (she did hold it together to finish her routine). Her last practice before the competition went so well that one of her coaches had scored like a 9.2 or 9.3 on the beam, oh well, maybe next time! Luckily things got better from there on out. She scored a 9.250 on the floor bringing on home third place, a 9.025 on the uneven bars to win 4th place, and a 9.0 on the vault to bring home 7th place. All four events added together gave her 8th all around. After the competition we met up with some of the team at Barnaby's for some pizza!
