Gymnastics - **Warning: Contains bragging and Gushing. May be suitable for Grandparents only

Lizzie finished up her first ever fall season of Level 4 Competitive Gymnastics this past weekend! She started out practicing with the team once a week in August, and halfway through the season in October, they decided she was ready to compete! It was tough to come in midway, but she really rose to the occasion! (Hair-do explanation: the better to do backward rolls, you see.)

Here's a list of her scores from her first meet to this past weekend at the State Championship Meet, where she was judged against every team from the state in her age group.

Here's a video of her bars routine from the State Meet:

Be sure to scroll down to the next post that has her floor routine video from last week! (The video card that allows us to download our videos only holds 50 seconds - I never get lucky enough to catch the best moments of the meet on this card!)
