First Competitive Gymnastics Meet

Maddie had her very first competitive gymnastics meet today. She just started level 3 a month ago and I was worried she would not do well at this competition. They line up the winning order 1st through however many kids there are and I was so worried she would get last place or close to it or that she would forget her routines.
But she had a blast and now has a good feel for what is expected at competition and what to work on to get better scores next time. She ended up in 4th place in the all around competition! Just one place from getting a metal. Not to shabby for her first try. We are very proud of Maddie. She's one of those kids you can stick in a new, challenging, or scary situation and she handles herself well and usually ends up towards the top of the pack.
Her scores were:
7.9 on beam
8.25 on vault
7.0 on bars
6.7 on floor (she skipped a skill in her routine)


I didn't get a video of her on bars but caught the rest-
