Brier's first gymnastic competition. ASI Gymnastics had a city-wide competition. Some of their gyms competed on Saturday and the rest (along with Brier) competed on Sunday. The scores from all gyms for both days were compared and Brier's gym (Mesquite) won first place.
Brier with her coach, Meagan.
Definitely not nervous before the competition.
Ahhhh, spider!
Waiting to start.
Meagan does a head count.
Pow wow.
Some of the staff and judges kids. They were off to the side doing their own thing.
Way too hyper.
Brier warming up.
Yeah, she's the youngest on the team.
The start of her first routine.
Front roll.
Arch.
Finish.
She forgot to salute the judge...
Everyone watching.
She finally saw me.
Her second routine- vault.
Spencer brought his PSP and it wasn't long before he found a new friend.
Brier's third routine- bars. She salutes the judge.
She only needed a little help and it cost her a few points.
She remembered to salute the judge at the end this time!
Waiting.
Still watching.
They played the same song for every competitor's floor routing. Very repetitive.
I noticed she was using an iPod for the music. Everything's getting modern.
Warming up for the beam.
Salute.
Just as she started her routine another group of girls moved right in front. And right after she finished, they sat down. :-p
Every girl received a medal. They also received a ribbon for each routine (total of 4) but they were at least color-coded according to how high they scored on each event.
She was so excited.
Waiting for the overall results.
Yay! First place!

This was also Meagan first competition as a coach.
The plaque will go in the Mesquite gym.
