We survived!

CONGRATULATIONS to JV and Varsity teams!  Both teams beat Our Lady Peace, Fallbrook and the Independents!  Way to go Ladies. JV=1-0 V=1-0. 

Our first meet is over!  Everyone did a great job.  Gymnasts were great competitors and did well with the new environment and for all the parents that helped out, I can't thank you enough for helping make everything run smoothly.  Every week the coaches will be selecting three stand-out gymnasts that really blew us away that week both in practice and in the meet.

This week our stand-outs are....

Michelle Bischoff.  Michelle was a stand out this week because she has been working extra hard in practice and did not let her nerves get the better of her in the meet.  Michelle overcame a shaky warm-up at the meet to perform a beautiful beam routine and stole the show during the awards ceremony earning ribbons on all events including 1st on All Around! 

Goldie Malamud.  Goldie was a stand-out this week because in her first competition she rocked the house!  Goldie kept up with returning gymnasts and performed at a strong level earning her many ribbons in the awards ceremony.  All of Goldie's hard work in practice really paid off when she earned a score of 9.15 on floor earning her a 1st place ribbon along side teammate, Michelle.

Sammy Belgum.  Sammy is new to our team this year but you would not have known it at the meet.  Sammy kept her teammates pumped cheering them on and praising them for their accomplishments.  Sammy's sweet smile and kind words were not the only thing that earned her a stand-out this week; her focus and determination during practice and the meet paid off in a gorgeous beam routine.  

Congratulations to this week's stand-outs! 

This week:

1. Every other Monday practices start this week.  This Monday will be a Varsity only practice.  JV gymnasts are welcome to come for an open gym atmosphere, but coaches will be focused on Varsity.  
2. Our meet this week is against the Torry Pines Falcons.  Come cheer us on at Mt. Carmel high on Thursday 3/22 @4:00pm.  See you there!   
3. We do not yet have a host for our team dinner this week.  It is an optional team dinner which means girls are not required to attend, but if we do not have a host we will not hold a team dinner at all.  Please e-mail me if you are interested in cooking some pasta and having the girls over for about an hour or two Wednesday night after practice.
