Day 3 - Level 5, 7 & 10 Competition

Well day 3 was a huge day!  We woke up to a wet, windy, cold, miserable day outside but it didn’t dampen the spirits of the level 7 girls who had their competition in the morning.

It didn’t take long for the girls to get warmed up and going and started the competition with a performance on floor.  They looked like they were having soo much fun with their routines.

The girls finished off strongly all hitting their beam routines and Sammi was awarded with a Gold award for her execution as she only last 1.0 in deductions from her routine!  Great job Sammi!

The team did an awesome job and was awarded with 3^rd place all round and Frankie placed 6^th overall individually.  Frankie was also awarded with “the most flowing bar routine!” Great job level 7’s!!!!

Next up to compete was our awesome level 5 team.  They appeared to have woken up in the morning in a creative mood ....

Off to the gym they went to meet up with the rest of the team who were already at the gym.  The girls were full of excitement and were keen to get the competition underway.  

Each team gets to nominate a joker to play during the competition.  This score gets doubled towards the team score.  Maddie was the joker on floor and the girls had an awesome time displaying the joker card to the audience performing a lap of honour around the floor before her routine.  Maddie did an awesome job as the joker and scored a 14.6 for the team.

The team did an amazing job and finished up placing 7^th overall, only missing out on 6^th place by 0.15 (basically they missed out by a step on a landing!).  Maddie did a great job placing 4^th overall whilst Jemima won the award for “schmoozing” the judges in her floor routine.

Grace, Alanah, Jemima and Maddie should be extremely proud of their competition efforts as they all looked amazing on the floor!

Unfortunately it was too cold and wet to have our picnic lunch as planned but this didn't stop the girls from having a break from being in the gym.  Nothing like a few games on the basketball court next door to break up the day.

Next up, was the old girls of the team - the level 10’s!  Spirits were high and they couldn’t wait to get the competition started. 
The atmosphere in the gym was electric and the team cheered the girls through their entire competition.  Once again the girls have a successful round on beam with both girls performing their best beam routine of the year so far!

Annie and Steph both did an amazing job and should be extremely proud of their performance.  Steph was awarded with 6^th place all round with the team coming 2^nd overall.

One of our chaperone’s Allison also got a chance to get on the podium for a photo after the comp.  Now that doesn’t happen every day!

After a long day at the gym the weary eyed team returned to the accommodation for a fantastic meal of tacos for dinner.  Our chaperones once again out did themselves and satisfied many hungry bellies!
The night wasn’t finished yet though as four of our senior girls got the opportunity to model some of Dreamlight’s beautiful leotards to the officials at the evening Cocktail Function.  All the girls looked absolutely stunning in their very expensive leo!  I’m sure they would all loved to have brought their leotard home with them but pretty sure they didn’t pack enough spending money for that!

Finally we would like to thank Tegan who judged for the club all day.  Without staff like Tegan attending events like this wouldn’t be possible!

Looking forward to another great day in Tasmania tomorrow with an excursion in the morning followed up by our terrific level 6 team competing in the afternoon.  Until then .....
