Emerald Team Challenge

Kennedy had a really good meet this weekend. She has really been struggling with bar this year - gymnastics is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. She has herself convinced that there are things she can't do. Well - she has been working really hard to work though that and this weekend she got her shoot-through in competition! Yeah! She got her highest bar score ever with an 8.425! That was huge for her! She also scored her personal best on beam with a 9.4. She had solid performances on vault with an 8.9 and floor with an 8.8 and got her highest score ever with a 35.525! She was rewarded with 2 medals for her 8th place in the Junior division in both vault and floor and a trophy for her 3rd place finish on beam and another trophy for her 5th place finish overall! I am so proud of her.

Here is her video!

  1. Congrats on a great meet, Kennedy! I know what you mean when you say gymnastics is as much mental as it is physical! But it sounds like you pulled through and handed out some great scores! Keep up the good work!

    Congrats on a great meet!! Was the Emerald Team Challenge in Oregon? I competed in that meet years ago! It's been a long time. You are just so sweet! I hope you're having a great year with Sydnee! She is my little munchkin! You two are both too cute for words! If you see Tiare before I do tell her hello for me! See you at Internationals!!
