First one down....

The first meet has come and gone and Malea (all the girls) did amazing! Malea's all around score was a 32.2, that is actually her highest all around...except from state year where she ended her season with an all around of 33.05! She nailed her round-off backhand spring at the end of her floor routine, the best I have seen yet! There was some hard judging due to there being 2 USAG reps there for a clinic afterwards for the girls but it was still GREAT!!! The clinic taught some valuable lessons and we now know what we need to work on more before the next meet.
When it came time for the awards portion...(I hate this part cause there are always broken hearts) Malea is now in the Jr's categories, she was in child's last year so basically not as many metals given out. Malea totally understands, she knows that she would rather work HARDER for a medal that she deserved then just be given a medal due to "having" lots of medals to give out (8th, 9th, 10th place medals). Now that is a girl who is growing up...but I am sure in her heart she still loves medals though, who wouldn't?
We ended by going out to lunch at Red Robin with Nana where Malea ate like she had never eaten before, she started with a milk shake because she said that would beat any medal LOL, then 2 full meals...spaghetti with fries and the second was pizza with fries, you would think we starved the girl or something!!!!
All in all it was a great day, we had alot of fun and I think its going to be a great season as well...
