Tessa had a meet in Tooele and it started at 7:45 Saturday morning. We would have had to wake up in the middle of the night to get her hair done and drive out there, so we decided that she and I would stay in a hotel Friday night. We got some dinner in Tooele and then checked into our hotel.
We went to bed early so she could be rested for the meet. When I woke up in the morning, Tessa was turned completely sideways in her bed. You can see her feet on the left and her head is basically hanging off the side of the bed on the right. This is why we get 2 beds!!! We shared a bed in New Orleans and she kicked and elbowed and punched me all night long. We haven't shared since. :)
There are six girls on the Gold team this year: Anna, Lexi, Morgan, Tessa, Arden, and Ellie.
Arete started on bars.
Tessa didn't have any falls, so she was really happy about that.
She scored an 8.55, which was lower than we thought she would get with no falls. The judge wrote one note on her score card about her cast, so she at least had an idea of why she got a big deduction.
They went to beam next. Tess looked really good on this!
She scored a 9.6. Very solid!!
They went to floor next and she did awesome on this too.
She scored a 9.55!
Her vault looked really good! I thought for sure she'd get a high score on this, but the judge gave her a 9.1. I wasn't sure why, but at the awards I realized the judge was really harsh on everyone. 9.1 was 1st place. :)
She was happy to find out she earned 1st place on vault.
She took 6th place on bars.
2nd place on beam
1st place on floor
And 1st place all-around!!!
Arete took 1st place as a team too!
She was very happy with how her first meet went for the season. She loves competing. It was so cute as we were pulling out of the parking lot, she was just gushing, "Thank you so much for letting me take gymnastics! I just love it!! The meets are my favorite!"
That is so sweet that she thanked you. She will always remember all of these fun times traveling and staying with you in hotels.
