Lisa did fine from my point of view, but she was disappointed since her friend Bugs had an excellent meet. Lisa was very nervous and she wasn't feeling well from a head cold / sore throat. She got a 8.7 on the Floor with a fall (she "sat down" her double back on the floor (Think two summersalults in the air in the pike position)). She completed the skill, but over-rotated.
Her vault was nice, but she will have to attempt a more difficult vault if she wants to score up with the leaders.
On the bars, she completed all of her new skills, but had to add an extra pirotte on the low bar to complete a skill (a deduction like a fall).
On the beam, she did beautiful on her series (back hand spring, step-out-layout), her arieal (no handed cartwheel), leap series, full turn, double twist dismount, etc - but she fell on her Popanova (straddle jump / full turn).
I am hoping that she will feel better and be less nervous this weekend in Atlanta. I will give you the update next week.

After reading all that I still have not idea what she did.
Can you draw pictures next time?

So once again, I get to share it here. OK - it's really Mike's news - but, in his typical 13 year old male way - he doesn't want to appear too excited by calling the grandparents since dad is not home...So, I'm left to be a proud mom on the DIS...
He had the biggest grin on his face when he was talking to the director.
Here's hoping his schedule will allow for the switch in periods...why is it that when I have good news to share, no one is around?
Anyway, for the fall semester Mike was 1st chair trombone for the #2 band. He auditioned this week to move into the #1 band for the spring semester. The Head Band Director who is in charge of the #1 band called tonight - he made it
. We're expected to get 2-4" of snow Sat. afternoon/evening.

Sounds like the nerves got to her. Here's to a better meet this coming weekend! Tell her we are proud of her!
