What a difference a year has made!

Meet comparison between Abby's very first meet in October 2008 to the best from each event this season, Sept-November 2009. She was 6 years old at her first meet and had just moved to Level 4 in mid April with only a few of her level 4 skills. :) She has come a long way and we are so proud of her!

Vault 7.8------------9.125
Bars 6.4------------9.1
Beam 5.725---------9.3
Floor 7.5------------9.1
AA 27.425-------36.575

What a HUGE difference a year has made! Katy and I both enjoyed watching her! She's gotten so strong and her flexibility is amazing!! I hope the best for her for the rest of the season!

Thanks!! Their spring season starts in a few weeks, but they haven't been doing much routine stuff, lost a coach, etc, so I am not sure how it will all work out. She is happy though and enjoying uptraining. She had a great fall season though, lots of improvement and some fun times!

What a great video Yeah she is competing in the spring not many gyms do so maybe we'll see you more often! do you mind if i use this idea in my year end video? You've gotta put the cast handstand on youtube!

[livelaughlovehope]

Of course you can make the same kind of video, I have seen these kinds on here and got the idea here. :) Hope we will see you at some meets, too.

As for the cast handstand, don't think I will be able to get video of it at the gym. Maybe someday when she has it safely at home.

You've come such a far away Abby!! is she gonna be level 5 now?

[livelaughlovehope]

She says thanks! She had so much fun watching this video, she was giggling and correcting herself. LOL.

No, she won't be level 5 yet. She will compete level 4 in the Spring. She would LOVE to move to level 5, but it won't be until at least summer. They still uptrain though. She got her cast to handstand on bars last night!

Wow, what a big difference a year has made! Abby looked like a little baby last year! So cute! And now she's this beautiful gymmie! Can't wait to see her next year as a level 5! :)

Adorable!  Great progress!

This video is priceless! It was so awesome to see her doing her first beam routine where you can barley even notice some of the elements, like scale or fish pose to the recent beam routine where every movement is so clean and precise. Way to go Abby! She has really turned into an amazing little gymnast! I can't wait to see her as a level 5 rocking those bars and beam!

How adorable and soooooo much improvement. Where are you that you do a "spring" and "fall" season?  She is very very good, so crisp.
