Xtreme Aerials, three weeks before Level 5 State Championships

Tonight we attended the Xtreme Aerials Fall Classic in Lafayette.  Emily placed 6th all-around in her division which did not please her.  She wants all 9's for Level 5.  I've been told by other moms that she's doing really well, but she's not happy.  She wants to be the best, and is not happy with her record in this Level 5 season.  I think she's done really well - she doesn't.  I'll be reporting in during State.


So here's Emily's scores since the start of this season, there's only one more event - that's the State Championships on December 10th-11th.  They are scheduling the girls in different flights based on their highest meet all around score.  Emily's highest all-around score for this season is 36.1 at the TIGAR Cartwheel Carnival.

9-18-11 Aerials Fall Festival, Colorado Springs.
Vault 8.45 (6th),  Bars 8.05 (5th), Beam 8.95(2nd), Floor 9.0 (2nd) All Around (3rd)  34.45

10-01-11 TIGAR Cartwheel Carnival, Wheat Ridge
Vault 8.75 (7th), Bars 8.6 (8th), Beam 9.4 (1st), Floor 9.35 (1st) All Around (2nd)  36.1

10-15-11 JUDGE'S CUP  (This was disastrous - Emily was coming back from a wrist sprain and basically only conditioned up to this point)
Vault 7.75 43rd),  Bars 8.4 (27th),  Beam 6.7 (she fell three times) (66th), Floor 8.875 (22nd)  All Around 31.725 (57th)  This meet was a reality check for Emily. She now realizes that she can't take 10 days off resting an injury and then jump into a meet head first with virtually no practice.

11-12-11 MILE-HI Salute, TIGAR, Wheat Ridge (this was supposed to have been a Savage Meet)
Vault 8.5 (5th),  Bars 7.95 (?),  Beam 9.15 (1st),  Floor 9.4 (1st),  All Around (2nd Place) 35.0

11-20-11 XAG Fall Classic, Lafayette

Aerials Fall Festival, Colorado Springs

Today was Emily's 1st competition as a Level 5 gymnast. Her scores were 8.45 on Vault (6th place), 8.05 on Bars (5th place), 8.95 on Beam (2nd place) and 9.0 on Floor (2nd place). She was placed in the Age Division "Junior B" with a total of 18 girls competing at that level and finished All Around 3rd place. The TIGAR 4,5, and 6 girls did fairly well in their first outing of the season. We've got a huge crop of Level 5's. It's almost embarrassing, but really kind of fun when you hear the parents screaming from the stands when they step out on the floor... I found a site called www.mymeetscores.com and discovered that my Emily is listed twice, once under the proper spelling of her name Emily Boyet, and then again as Emily Bpyet which lists the information from the CGI meet in February 2011. So I tried to find someone to contact at mymeetscores.com, but their "help" page has no help options. So I wrote CGI to see if they could fix it... we'll see what happens. I noticed that there are alot of misspellings on this site. Searching for Elizabeth Leduc for instance, will bring up at least 4 different spellings and scores for the same individual. It would be nice to be able to consolidate the scores on this site, without anyone monitoring the entries, makes this site pretty much "garbage out" and not at all easy to decipher if you're looking for your kid's scores on line. Somebody somewhere, hear my plea! Fix what ails MyMeetScores.com! I am sure Lizzy's parents would appreciate it, I know I would... Maybe you all should reference the kid's USAG #, but not print it on the site? That would be the easiest check. I don't think their USAG member number ever changes, but hey, what do I know?
