    For five years in a row, my daughter's high school gymnastics team has won Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) State Championship in Gymnastics, and my daughter has been on three of those teams.

    Allison and her team mates are in Baton Rouge this weekend to try to win another State tournament. The boys compete today, and the girls compete tomorrow.
    Wish them luck and say a quick prayer that all athletes stay safe.
    Caddo Magnet girls are going for their 6th State Championship, and Allison is going for a sweep of four championships for her high school career. Not bad for a young lady that started on the team her freshman year with a broken leg.

    Let's all cheer for Caddo Magnet High.

    Hopefully, tomorrow night, I can add another trophy pic to this lineup.

    Update:

    Allison’s Scores:
    Beam: 9.25
    Vault: 9.5
    Floor: 9.2
    Bars: 9.7

    She got a 2nd in Bars

    4th all around level three, which ain’t bad for 96 girls in her level.

    7068530


    2nd place team level three.

    7068535


    Level 4s are still going, then level 8s.

    After level 8s, we’ll have Overall Team Award...State Championship.

    It’s not looking good at all for repeating State. There is a team that brought every bit of their game. They are good. We have a good chance at second though.
     
    Update:

    Well, we didn’t get first. St Joseph Academy, out of Baton Rouge, won first overall. We won second place. Our girls, however, have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. They scored the highest scored they’ve ever scored at a state tournament. The St. Joseph girls just couldn’t be beat. Their girls, especially their lower level girls, were just too good.

    My daughter has had an awesome run in gymnastics career, three state championships and a runner up. I’m sad, and glad, to see it end. It’s time to move on to the next stage of her life though. She starts college this fall, working towards a degree in animal science at Louisiana Tech University. Then, in four years, she’ll move to Baton Rouge and get her veterinarian degree.

    Thank you you guys for all the prayers, support, and well wishes for Allison. Her life is about to get harder, so I’m sure I’ll be asking for more in the future.
     
    I will till her 12Bravo, thank you. Yep, I'm going to have tears in my eyes when my daughter drives away from the house for the last time in pursuit of her own life.

    You are absolutly correct Marinevet. They have nothing to hang their head about.

    That's true powdahoung. Working that hard for a goal while they're young, sets them up to be successful when they're older.

    Thanks guys.
     
    She was on the field, competing. And did extraordinarily well! The former in itself is something to be proud of. The latter only bolsters that point.

    Far better to be on the field competing, than in the stands cheering. Or on the anchor-desk, criticizing.

    She'll go far, and you two as parents can definitely be PROUD of that.
     
    You both should be very proud.
