Eliza was able to compete in gymnastics this year, and she had such a wonderful time! Her first meet was nerve wracking to say the least. But with each meet she grew more and more confident. She's worked really hard this season, and we're proud of how much she's grown.
In total she competed in five meets, with the final meet last week. The best part was that she is with a gym and in a league is so amazing! They really focus on developing strong gymnasts and even stronger people without pushing the competition aspect too much.

Eliza has made some great friends on her team! She was also so lucky to have two friends from IMA attend two seperate meets. They were so sweet to come and cheer her on!

Little by little Eliza improved so much this season. She's gained so much more control and technique. Here's her first beam routine of the year which she was so proud of!
And here's her final beam routine at State. She had a goal to hit the handstand without falling off, and she did it! She also got her highest score of the whole season on any event - 9.5! Her face at the end says it all.
We're proud of you Little E for working hard, for believing in yourself, and for meeting your goals! While the meets are over for this season, luckily gymnastics isn't. Come Monday they'll be back in the gym practicing and working on new skills. She can't wait!
