Vitaly Scherbo Invitational - worth the trip!

Well we're home, back in Denver.  The Vitaly Scherbo invitational was a grand success for the newly minted TIGAR girls team.  Level 4, Level 5 and Level 6 teams all placed 3rd.  We started our trip at DIA and met up with two other team members, Gigi and Tess who flew in on the same flight that we did.  It was a great start to a fun event. 

Kate Bain took home the All-Around in Level 4 Division B.  Kate's had a fabulous season. Emily took home the all-around in Level 4 Division D with an All Around score of 36.85 and the team trophy with the highest Level 4 scores. Noelle finished first on Floor.  Our Level 4 TIGARS have blasted onto the scene!

 Emily's individual scores for the Vitaly Scherbo Invitational:
Vault - 9.05 (3rd Place),   Floor - 9.1 (5th Place), Uneven  Bars - 9.275 (1st Place) , 
Balance Beam - 9.425 (1st Place).  All Around = 36.85 (1st Place)

This meet was held at the YMCA in North Las Vegas and was organized brilliantly.  Two gymnasiums were used.  One strictly for competition, and one strictly for the awards ceremony.   All of the events went off on time.  The competitors were not stressed in any way and from my viewpoint, all of the kids seemed to be relaxed and enjoyed themselves.

Grandpa was present, since he lives one exit down from the Y, and he thoroughly enjoyed watching the events. It was great to have him there!  Emily had to nap for two hours before she had to go out and perform.  She was not well, running a fever at noon, I gave her two Tylenol and she slept until it was competition time.   Megan Jackson was ill that evening after the meet and Kate succumbed to the crud the next day, so I wouldn't be surprised if this virus spreads through the entire team by week end.  Keep well little Tigars...
