Whitney and her new teammates are at the 2016 Mardi Gras Invitational Gymnastics Meet in Acworth, Georgia. Whitney was excited to compete and hoped to do well with her new team. She was not disappointed! Whitney did great! She started on the floor exercise and did a pretty solid routine, but was rewarded with her worst score of the season. The judges were tough! Next came the dreaded vault. Whitney is still not cleared to compete the Yurchenko vault, and had to perform the level 7 front handspring vault. This vault has a start value of 9.0…so even if she executed the best front handspring vault of all time, she could only receive a score of 9.0. As a result, Whitney was pretty excited when she stuck her second vault and scored an 8.7. Then it was off to the uneven bars. Whitney has been doing well on bars lately, but was a little concerned about a couple of recent large rips on the palms of her hands. She actually managed to get a new rip during warm-ups for the bars. The rips apparently did not bother her, as she scored a 9.575 to win first place on the event. The final event was the balance beam. Whitney was great on the beam! Again, she nailed all the hard stuff, but managed to wobble on one of her simple steps. She scored a 9.45 on beam, taking second place on the event. Whitney scored an all around score of 37.0 which was good enough to win third place. Whitney’s team took second place in the team competition. Whitney had a blast and enjoyed competing with her new teammates.
