Going to the top bar!

Julia's first time to the top bar.




Summer camp Aug 2009

Floor

Beam

Bars

Julia placed 2nd overall in Bars out of 50. Super job.

Oshawa competition

Julia had her second and final competition for this year on June 13th. She did great again. She is finally getting the hang of competing. If she were to place she would have placed 9th overall out of 54 (I think). Her team placed 3rd overall for the whole competition. Pretty good considering the other two teams have national team member on them. Julia is finished for the season, but a week after school is over she will be starting gymnastics camp. I guess you can say that she's a gym kid or like she said to me the other day, "Mom, I'm a gymnast that's it!". This was after I entertained the idea that she might like to play soccer sometime this summer. Oops I guess I was wrong.

Upcoming Competition - Oshawa June 13th.

Julia will be taking part in her 2nd competition of the year on Saturday June 13th. They will be competing at the Gemini Gymnastics Club in Oshawa - 1000 Stevenson Road N. Her flight will begin at around 11:30 am and will go to about 3 ish.

If anyone is interested in watching her let me know and I'll give you more information.

Julia would love a cheering squad.

Final Event - Bars

Results: 3rd out of 20.

At Level 2, the gymnasts only perform on the low bar.

Already after this competition, her coach has her group working on jumping up to the high bar (approximatly 8ft high!!)

At the end of the meet the girls are ranked based on combined score of all events.

If they were placing the girls, Julia would have placed 4th overall. Great accomplishment for her very first competition.

Julia had a great time and is looking forward to her next meet that will be on the weekend of June 13-14 in Oshawa. Anyone interested in going to support Julia contact me (Alicia) and I'll let you know the details when I know.

Third Event - Vault

Julia is running along the back of the gym over the vault in the back right corner of the gym.

Vault is her least favorite event - she's just started to get over the vault on her own. For vault at her level they land on their back on a big mat. They run two vaults, but somehow we only taped one vault.

Second Event - Floor

Julia did great, but she needs to work on connecting her tumbling runs.

For a first performance in front of a crowd she did wonderful.

First Event - Beam

This was Julia's first event - Beam.

Results: 2nd in her group of 20

Note: She is not performing to the music.

Muskoka Classic 2009 - First competition!

Julia is in her second year of competitive gymnastics and this past weekend she finally had her first competition. She was so excited to finally get the chance to compete. She was so proud of her accomplishment and so were we! Way to go Julia!!!
