Rylie takes Gold in Erie, PA!

Rylie's second meet of the competition year was at the Stars and Stripes Meet in Erie, PA. She was first all around, first in beam, second in bars, and third in floor. She even pulled off two decent difficult vaults at the end of the meet in spite of having a knee injury during her vault warm ups. Due to the split ages, only two of her teammates are shown here, Sabrina and Jordan. Her remaining teammate, Jennifer, competed at a later time. Her teammates did well bringing home sixth place out of 15 teams competing, along with a few silver and bronze medals for individual events. All four girls had contributed scores to the team score which takes the highest three individual scores and totals them for all four events. Not bad, girls!! Erie was beautiful. The weather was unusually warm and the lake was relaxing. We stayed at the Sheraton Waterfront Hotel and Convention Center. A long walkway connected the hotel to the convention center and it was beautiful to walk out and see the lake. On the way home, we ended up at Primanti Brothers Restaurant for an excellent sandwich in Grove City, PA Rylie will spend the next few days icing and resting her knee as she and her teammates prepare for her next competition in Butler PA in a couple weeks. Shown below is a video of all four of Rylie's routines in this meet.
