Georgia State Level 4 Meet

Hannah had her Georgia State Meet this weekend in Tifton Georgia. It was about a two and a half hour drive each way but that is the life in gymnastics competition (This was actually a really close one to home)



Anyway, Hannah had a great closing meet. While she did not place overall, she did place 8th on the Beam and scored a personal best of 9.0 on the vault. I was looking back and she did not place in the top 11 last year so she has definatly improved!







She wobbled a bit on the beam routine but that seemed to be par for the course with all competitors.


Still recovering from a sprained elbow, her round off back handspring was not as solid as in the past. Her elbow is getting better so in turn she will be improving more.

The vault is hard to see. The winning score was a 9.975. There are four judges on each event and the winner received a 10.0 from two of the judges. The vault has been Hannah's hardest event.




She had a problem on the initial start on the bars but did great on the rest of the routine and kept her legs straight on the shoot through.




The biggest challenge for Hannah this year was her growth. Every time she would get a routine down pat, she would wake up and will have grown an inch or two. That then throws her body out of whack changing everything she just learned.
