2011 Gatlinburg Classic

Rylie had a great time in Gatlinburg, TN and also had a great meet. Three golds and a bronze including First Place All Around. Attached is a video of all four of her events. Mountain Magic placed third as a team. This was an interesting meet with male and female gymnasts from levels 3 through 10, and several teams from eight states competing. This is always a fun meet because of so many things to do when not competing. This year, Rylie visited the Sky Lift, rode the big Tram up to the top of the mountain, and visited Ripley's Believe it or Not and Guinness World Record Museum.

Rainbow Classic 2011. Rylie First All Around!

Rylie is getting a great start to her level seven year! Here are some pics and videos of her meet. She placed First in Beam and the video is shown below. She received First Place All Around medaling in all four events with total of 35.55. This meet was held in Waynesboro, PA just outside of Hagerstown. It was the first trip there for Mountain Magic. I tried out a new camera with an attempt at some action shots on the vault. I'm still learning that technique. The Level Seven team took Second Place, and the Level Nine team took First Place. Also take a look at the new competition leos! They really look great and finally got here!

First Use of Giants in Competition!

Rylie had an awesome bar routine using her giants for the first time in competition. Their second meet this year was held in Mt. Pleasant, PA. This hockey arena is not the greatest place to get good video. The lights are low and we are behind a hockey cage. She is in the middle of the video in pink. Mountain Magic Level Seven Team placed second out of eight teams at this meet. Rylie did such a good job as usual and brought home four medals.
