2009 North Sectional Competition

Well... after Tami's wedding Kennedy started to get sick. =( I tried everything I could think of to try and keep her healthy - but every day she seemed to get a little more sick. She had to go to practice every day last week since it was the week before sectionals and I am sure that didn't help. She eventually developed an eye infection. But she was determined to compete at sectionals so that she could qualify for state. Even feeling as bad as she did she scored season highs on bar (8.675) and floor (9.050). She had some issues with vault.... and beam was the last event and the medicine was starting to wear off. Beam is usually her high score but she managed to stay on the beam even with her limited vision and her balance all "off" from the medicine and she scored an 8.875 - not her best - but not too bad either. She scored 35.275 and will advance to silver state. Her goal was gold state and she needed a 35.375 to qualify to gold.... SO CLOSE!
