Today was a very long day but altogether successful. Each of our athletes had at least one truly great performance and we were proud of all of them.
We started off our day with Synchro and Tumbling in the morning. Team RaGe (Rachel and Genai) and Team KeDhalla (Emma and Alanya) both had good showings in Synchro and all of our tumblers showed some quality passes. Genai, Justin, Brody, Hailey, and Alanya went on to tumble in the final round later on in the afternoon as well. Fast and long rhythms was the key and Alanya was so successful stretching everything out that she actually ran out of floor. Rats (but a great problem to have!)
In trampoline Genai, Rachel, Emma and Alanya all competed well amidst dozens of competors. Justin, Brody, Hailey, Kelsey, Belle, Emma, and Alanya all showed passes on DMT (phewph!) and all were completed (although one accidental seat drop finish was a little unexpected).
Tomorrow morning we will see Brody, Hailey, Genai, Emma, and Alanya in the final rounds on Trampoline while Justin, Brody and Hailey compete their final passes on DMT. It should be very exciting.
Here is one of our best passes from last night. Perfect stick by Rachel!
After the day wrapped up we rushed back to the hotel to change into fancy duds. Everyone looked especially awesome as we traipsed off to the athlete's social. Pizza, a bouncy castle thingy, some rebounding toy horse whatsits, even some DDR. Looked like fun was had by all and the athletes wrapped up with a hot tub back at the hotel.
Pumped for tomorrow!
