Proud Dad!

kgoings · 04-17-2011, 09:14 PM

My freshman daughter has had a rough past couple years, she is a gymnast and blew out her elbow twice in the past two years. The second time they did surgery. So she hasn't had much competition in about 2.5 years. She made it through this year injury free and WHAT a comeback it was.

She started competing Level 10 in January (the highest level outside Elite which is for kids wanting to goto the Olympics..her goal is just College) and we just got back from her Regionals meet and she placed 3rd All Around and was champion on Beam. And in her first year of Level 10 she qualified to go to Nationals in May! Super Proud!!
