Throwback: Eliza's Gymnastics Season

Eliza still LOVES gymnastics!  I was waiting to do a big post about it until after her third and final meet of the season which was to be held at the end of March, but alas, the meet was canceled because of The Virus.

At the first official meet in January, Eliza's best event was bars, where she got a 9.5 and took first place in her group.  She got second place on beam with a 9.0 and placed 2nd overall.

At the second meet in February, Eliza was still recovering from a hyperextended knee about 10 days earlier.  She still did great, though, placing first on beam with a 9.4 and 2nd in vault.  She was 3rd overall.








It was fun to see the girls entertain themselves while they waited for
the scores and ribbons to be prepared.  Here they played "Down
by the Banks of the Hanky Panky" and Eliza actually won.

This is Eliza assisting a younger girl lead a gymnastics-themed game of Simon Says.


And check out these cool pictures from the gymnastics photography folks!




Eliza is really missing gymnastics right now while we're social distancing.  She's been working on her skills the best she can (and reminding me often of how much she needs a trampoline) and doing stretching videos on YouTube often.  I'll have to post some of her recent progress soon.
