Katelyn ended the summer with a fun gymnastics meet. She only participates at a recreational level but in hopes to get more girls to go competitive they put on a sample meet where the girls competed against themselves.
Katelyn did great, but realized she doesn’t love competition. She got pretty nervous and uncomfortable. I tried to convince her those nerves would subside over time and more meets but she wasn’t convinced. So this is her last month and last meet she will be in for a while. She has decided to try a semester of Irish Dance.
Below are pictures of Katelyn on the bars, balance beam and the floor routine. She also did the vault, but I didn’t get a picture of it. Overall she got one blue ribbon (first on floor), one red ribbon (second on bars and vault) and a purple ribbon (third on beam). The beam makes her the most nervous. I can’t really say I blame her. After watching the Olympics you couldn’t convince me to jump around on the beam.
Katelyn did a fantastic job and we are so proud of her hard work in gymnastics over the past couple years!
