What a day..Finally after a long season and many meets all over the state, we are finally here in Washington, PA, near Pittsburgh for PA Level 5 States. It was a long drive out here but all went fairly smooth. We had dinner last night with a few Manettes families and hit the sack right on time. This morning we woke to a beautiful sunny day.
Olivia and Kim were quite organized an we made it to the meet site well ahead of schedule. We see alot of familiar faces as we have competed alongside all the teams in our session in previous meet, Parkettes, GymOlimpic, WaterTower, Berks...
They spilt up the Manettes into two squads and Olivia's squad started on Vault...8.55 for Olivia to start off. Then the big one..finally time for bars at states! Olivia nailed it! Looked great all the way through. Kips, jump to the high bar, etc..Coach K was ecstatic, gave Olivia a big hug and so did her teammates. Very cute and made Olivia feel great. She was beaming (pun intended) 8.7. Now it was time for beam queen to get up on her throne :-). KILLED IT!! Olivia was solid as a rock. honestly dad was a little nervous after warm ups were a little shaky, but the beam queen did her usual and nailed it. 9.275...sweeet! On to floor after a long wait for the previous squads and Olivia stepped up to her last event with a confident look and got one of her best floor scores of the season at 9.175!!!
Getting ready for award...fingers crossed...
Woohoo... 3rd on beam and 5th all around!! Two medals at her first states championship meet. So awesome. We are in the crowd beaming (again, pun intended).
Overall is 35.7.

What Beautiful Looks Like
Just after hip hop dance class, Gracie and I met Kim for a cup of coffee and a croissant at Valley Forge flowers. A nice little break while waiting for Olivia and Sophia at their dance class. On to the lacrosse game after this. Another restful weekend.... Ya right!
