Gymnastics Meet: The Pumpkin Caper, San Luis Obispo

Last weekend was our final meet of the season.  We journeyed to San Luis Obispo (a very nice town) for the Pumpkin Caper, 2009.

SKGP's scores:

Vault: 8.75 (7th place)
Bars: 8.75 (2nd place)

Floor: 8.4 (3rd place)
All Around: 34.25 (2nd place)

Also, SKGP won the handstand contest for her level.

Aubry from USA Sports took first place, and did an amazing job.  In addition, USA Sports Level 4 won the second place team award, which is the first trophy for Gilroy!  Great jobs, girls.

The scoring was very tough, but seemed to be consistently applied.

The next meet is the Nor Cal State Championships in early December.  SKGP and one other girl from her gym, plus a couple from the Hollister gym qualified.
