Kiersen was asked to be part of the GCH gymnastics show this year.  She got to go to her old training center and perform her floor routine for the 'littles'.

Working on Her Full Twist . . .

 And we have a twister!  I get confused just looking at her twist so fast!

Front Flyaway . . .

This weekend Kiersen landed her first front flyaway.  She's done these before, but this is the first time to a mat!  She was at a birthday party, so that's why she wasn't wearing grips.

Double Front Off Trampoline . . .

 Kiersen was at a birthday party at the gym this weekend and had so much fun trying new things.  This video shows her doing a double front tuck off the trampoline into the pit.

Hanover Classic - Floor Routine (Video) . . .

Kiersen got her highest level 6 score last week at the Hanover Classic, with a 9.650!  It's hard to believe, but even with that high of a score she only took 9th place!  Super proud of how far she's come this year!

Hanover Classic - Bars (Video) . . .

 

Kiersen's hardest even this year is the bars, but each competition her scores seem to improve, and this week she got an 8.800 and took 9th place.  I am super proud of her for going for her handstand!

Kiersen's Vaults from the Hanover Classic held last weekend.  She scored an 8.950 (her highest score of the year) and get 8th Place.

Competition Ready!

 Just a few photos of Kiersen (our 'little ham') after we sprayed in her hair glitter before this weekend's competition . . . . 

First Series on Beam (Video) . . .

In the world of gymnastics, one of the hardest skills to get around Kiersen's level is what they call a 'series'.  A series is when you combine two skills together (in this case, a handstand back handspring).  Last week Kiersen was thrilled when she got it, so I thought I'd share it here.  I am really proud of her!
