GYMDAWG
JIVE Final 2009 10 Season Level 3-4 States
This
past weekend saw the competition finale for 6 of our team girls up in
Edison
with the JOGA State Championships on Saturday and Sunday.
Combined over
the 2 days, our gymnasts accumulated 8 PERSONAL BESTS, 9 Top-10 MEDALS,
3 TEAM SEASON HIGH EVENT SCORES, and the
9th PLACE
TEAM AWARD for Level 3.
Starting
the weekend off were MEG and ALYSSA,
in the gigantic 13-14 Age group for Level 4.
ALYSSA
had 3 PERSONAL BESTS; on Beam, Bars, and in her ALL-AROUND. Given the
fact that she hasn’t competed since January due to injury, it’s most
impressive that she led all of our gymnasts in CAREER HIGHS this
weekend. ALYSSA just missed
out being on the podium by a quarter of a tenth with her Floor routine
which was good enough for a SEASON HIGH score there.
MEG
had 2 PERSONAL BESTS for the day, with hers coming on Bars and also in
her ALL-AROUND. MEG’S effort on the Uneven Bars was rewarded with the
7th PLACE
MEDAL on that event.
Finishing
up for the Level 4s on Sunday was KIM,
who had a SEASON HIGH event score on Beam, where she narrowly missed medalling, while also just missing out on a career high by a half a
tenth.
The
TEAM score the 3 girls combined for was the second highest score they
have had all season long while they accumulated enough points on both
Bars and Beam to have SEASON TEAM HIGH SCORES on those events.
For
the Level 3s, their 99.250 TEAM SCORE placed them 9th in the
State, which is a fairly significant accomplishment; given the size of
the schools and number of teams at this Level we were competing against
with just our 3 gymnasts! It
also was the Team’s 2nd HIGHEST total of this season.
Leading
the Team was BRIANNA with a
33.3 total score. It was the third straight time she had topped the 33
mark this season and that score enabled her to PLACE 8TH in
the ALL-AROUND. BRI had a
PERSONAL BEST and 10TH PLACE MEDAL on Bars, where given the
start value, there were little if any deductions. On Floor she PLACED 6TH,
while her Tsuk on Vault WON her
THIRD PLACE
on that event.
MARGAUX
also busted the 33 mark in scoring 33.175 which was good enough for
10TH PLACE
in the ALL-AROUND. She too, as was the theme for the day, had a CAREER
HIGH on Bars. MARGAUX WON the
8TH PLACE
AWARD on Vault, while her Floor captured the
4TH PLACE
MEDAL there.
HALEY
nailed a great Bar routine which gave her a PERSONAL BEST score also on
that apparatus. Her Beam was awesome and tight, as she “STUCK” her
routine for the second straight meet. The routine enabled HALEY
to WIN the 10TH PLACE AWARD on that event.
We
are very proud of their efforts, not only at States, but this entire
year. In looking back not only where the girls started this season, but
going back to last year’s States, these 6 girls raised their total
All-Around scores a combined 11.82 points; with increases ranging from
1.23 points all the way up to a +2.75 points!
And
afterwards, to hear them talk with KIM
about goals and things they want to get started on for NEXT YEAR, that enthusiasm is well, just EXTREME!
THANKS
YOUS go to team girls, TORI, MADDY,
and CASSIDY, who came out to support their teammates and friends
throughout the weekend.
GO DAWGS!
GYMDAWG JIVE 8 041210
This past Sunday, our school hosted the biggest meet in
Extreme Gymnastics history as 36 gymnasts and 9 clubs competed in our
Dawghouse in what was the JOGA regular season finale for this year.
And after 2 GREAT weeks of practices, there was a feeling
amongst our coaches that our girls would come out rockin’; and they
certainly did not disappoint as the 6 gymnasts combined for 24 TOP 3
medals and 9 PERSONAL BESTS individually.
Team-wise, the Level 4’s had their season’s HIGHEST EVENT
SCORE on Vault, while tying their high mark on Beam.
KIM
had her highest Beam score this year, and while it wasn’t reflective
in her actual score, KIM’S Floor routine was probably the best it has been all season;
as Sunday’s effort featured improved, powerful tumbling, combined with
her always pleasing dance-presentation.
KYLIE
started this year competing back in November and ended her 8-meet year
with her third consecutive meet topping the 30 point mark. Impressive in
that achievement is the fact that those scores have come in her 3
toughest meets this year; Level 5 States, and then her 2 meets at Level
4. Sunday she had a BIG CAREER BEST on Bars with her first 7 score ever
on that event.
MEG
continues to get stronger as the season continues, as she posted her
highest All-around total this year at 30.85, just missing out on a Level
3 score. MEG had a huge vault that awarded her the
1ST Place
Trophy there, while also giving her a PERSONAL BEST there as she tallied
an 8.55 on that apparatus.
For the Level 3’s, statements were certainly made on
Sunday, as our 3 girls put up the HIGHEST
TEAM SCORE since our
2005’06 season as they topped the century mark in totaling a 100.5
score! In doing so, they had event highs for the year on Vault, Bars,
and Beam.
MARGAUX
achieved her 2nd QUALIFYING SCORE needed for Level 2 as she
hit the 33 mark in her All-Around which was just 2 tenths off of her
season high. MARGAUX took
1ST Place
Medals on Floor and on Vault, where she just missed a CAREER BEST there.
HALEY
was in need of one more score to get to States and from the start it was
very evident that she was on a mission and would not leave any doubt in
the hands of the judges. She had PERSONAL BESTS on Vault and on Beam,
where she had a “sick”, “stuck” routine in scoring an 8.85
there! HALEY’S 33.2
All-Around won her
1ST Place
in her age-group and was too, a CAREER HIGH. That total gets her to
Level 3 States and also gives her the first QUALIFYING SCORE for Level
2.
Leading our Team and putting up the HIGHEST SCORE for the
entire competition was BRIANNA,
who had a monstrous meet scoring a 34.3 in her All-Around! That PERSONAL
BEST was the topper on a day where she also had CAREER BESTS on Beam and
Vault where she scored a 9.2 on that event! BRI
tied her PERSONAL HIGHS on Bars and Floor as she had 1ST
Place Awards across the board. It should be noted, her overall score was
the HIGHEST All-Around score here at Extreme since again, the
aforementioned 2005’06 season.
Next up for BRIANNA,
HALEY, MARGAUX, MEG, KIM,
and ALYSSA, who has been injured, will be Level 3 and 4 States. Our
coaching staff will look to continue with this positive momentum and
make the necessary corrections and improvements so that the girls will
be peaking at States.
THANK YOUS as always, to the TEAM girls who came out to
support their teammates and help with the meet, both before and
afterwards. Also THANKS to the parents, family and friends who
volunteered their assistance.
Just a GREAT EFFORT by EVERYONE! GO DAWGS! BE EXTREME!

GYMDAWG JIVE 7
This past Sunday our Extreme Teams were
involved in 2 JOGA competitions, as our Level 4 and 3 squads were both
in action. And the 7 girls certainly came to play as our teams combined
for 19 PERSONAL BESTS, 8 High Event Scores for the year,
including both team All-Arounds, 14 Top 3 Individual awards, 5
1st Place Medals, a 3rd Place Team Trophy, the 2
highest individual scores of both meets, and, a new Extreme Gymnastics
school record on Balance Beam!
The
Level 4’s started the day off, finishing in 6th Place
amongst the 13 teams entered in the event as they totaled 94 points,
which was a high score for the 4s this season.
KIM led the squad in scoring, with a 32 All-Around; 1 of her 2 PERSONAL
BESTS on the day and, 1 of her
2 FIRST PLACE
MEDALS as well. She also had a
CAREER BEST and FIRST PLACE
on Uneven Bars. On this event, she established the HIGH SCORE on Bars
for all of our teams this season. With her effort, KIM now has her
second QUALIFYING SCORE for the next Level.
MEG
added 2 PERSONAL BESTS as well, with hers coming on Floor and Bars. Her
totals on those events also counted as CONTRIBUTING SCORES towards the
TEAM TOTAL.
Making
their debuts at this Level after completing their Level 5 seasons were
ASHLEY and KYLIE. BOTH girls fared very admirably as they each had
several PERSONAL BESTS and multiple scores towards the TEAM OVERALL
SCORE.
ASHLEY
had CAREER HIGHS on Floor, Vault, and her All-Around, were she scored
her first 30 of her career. ASH also tied her CAREER HIGH on Bars with
perhaps her best routine this season.
KYLIE
wasn’t fazed by the higher level neither as she was first up on Beam
and promptly “STUCK IT”, giving her a PB on that event. She added
CAREER HIGHS on Vault and her All-Around were she totaled a 30.85 and
just missed a Level 3 score!
Just
a great effort by all 4 girls and outstanding efforts from the “newbies”!
Finishing
up the competition in the afternoon session were our Level 3 gymnasts.
The team has been shorthanded due to some injuries and while their
teammates are very much missed, HALEY, BRIANNA, and MARGAUX went out and
competed in a big-time way on Sunday. They scored their highest
All-Around this season and in putting up a 99.2, that score was good
enough to win our GYMDAWGS the 3RD PLACE TEAM AWARD in what
was a very competitive event.
HALEY
has been nagged with minor injuries this year, but for this meet, she
was as healthy as she’s been all season and put forth the type of
performance that the coaches have been expecting and waiting for. She
had 4 PERSONAL BESTS in the meet, on Floor, Vault, Bars, and her
All-Around, where she scored a 32.8, topping her previous best by a point
and a half! It also should be noted that no sooner did KIM establish
a high mark on Bars for our team this year; it was short lived as HALEY
set a new high just hours later! She now has her first QUALIFYING SCORE
for Level 3 States.
In
winning the 1ST PLACE AWARD on Balance Beam, MARGAUX not only
set a PERSONAL BEST mark for
herself on that event, but she also established a new EXTREME GYMNASTICS
SCHOOL RECORD by breaking OLIVIA’S 9.125 old mark with a sick 9.25
score! It was the highest individual score of either meet and needless
to say, yes, it WAS STUCK!
Leading
the team with a CAREER BEST 33.45 total score was BRIANNA who had one of
the top efforts of this season. Her All-Around was the TEAM’S HIGH
this year and one of BRI’s 3 PERSONAL BESTS for the day. She also had
CAREER HIGHS and 1ST PLACE MEDALS on Floor and on Vault where
on the latter event, she scored a 9.1. Significant in that score is the
fact that for the 2 competitions, there were over 100 gymnasts entered
and there were only 4 “9s” scored. MARGAUX and BRI had 2 of those
9s, while they also had the 2 TOP SCORES of the competitions! It should
also be noted that BRIANNA attempted her back tuck on Beam for
the first time ever in an actual meet. BRI now has one QUALIFYING SCORE
towards LEVEL 2.
Congratulations
ladies, your efforts truly made us most PROUD! Keep working hard and
SUCCESSES will follow!
Shout
out THANKS to LAURA and ALLINA who came to support their teammates. Your
CARE is much appreciated!
April
11th in our DAWGHOUSE is next before STATES.
GO
DAWGS! BE EXTREME!

The
JOGA Level 5 & 6 seasons ended with the State Championships this
past weekend.
For the Level 5
girls, combined, they scored their highest Bars event score this season,
which is a nice way to cap off the year. Each of the girls, CAITLYN,
KYLIE, ASHLEY, and CASSIDY, ALL contributed to the overall team efforts,
at States and throughout the year. CASSIDY and CAITLYN, both in their
second seasons of competition, will look to build off of this season
towards next year’s campaign and much will be expected of them as they
will serve as the leaders of the squad. Each of the girls finished well
with CAITLYN “sticking” Beam for the fourth
meet in a row, while CASS scored her highest Beam of this year.
ASHLEY
will be extending her season, moving on to Level 4 after States as she
had a very solid year at JOGA Level 5. ASH had one of her best floor
routines of this season in capturing the
8th Place
Award on that event. Her 28.875 was close to a PERSONAL BEST for her and
was our team’s second highest overall score of the weekend.
Leading
the squad in scoring and also looking to compete at the next Level is
KYLIE, who gained her second score necessary for J4 Level in a big way as she scored a PERSONAL BEST 30.7 in her All-Around! Her
total score was good enough to place her FOURTH Overall and top her
previous CAREER HIGH All-Around by over a full
point. KYLIE also had PERSONAL BESTS on Bars, Beam, and Floor, where
her 8.2 awarded her a well-deserved
3rd Place
Medal. Her efforts on Vault and Beam netted her 5th and 8th
Place Medals respectfully on those events.
The
Level 6 team ended their season in a most-fine fashion totaling their
HIGHEST TEAM Score this season, while posting their highest event scores
on both Beam and Floor exercise.
The
girls combined for 16 PERSONAL BESTS for the day while ALL 6 gymnasts
had at least 1 CONTRIBUTING Team Score!
MADDY
was high scorer on the squad with a 28.45 All-Around, one of 3 CAREER
HIGHS for her at the event. She also had PBs on Bars, and on Beam, where
she nailed skills for the first time ever in competition, despite the
lights going out during her routine! All told, MADDY won 4, Top-4 Medals
in what was by far, her biggest and best competition to date.
GABBY
improved her Overall score for the 6th
consecutive meet in a row and totaled 4 PERSONAL BESTS for the
event, with CAREER HIGHS on Bars, Beam, Floor and her All-Around. She
won 2, Top-10 Medals with her Vault and Floor efforts.
In
addition to MADDY and GABBY, our other first year competitor KELSEY,
also ended her J6 season strong with an absolute nailing of Beam, where
she put up her HIGHEST CAREER Score on that event with an 8.0, giving
her the 5th Place Award there. KELSEY's Beam was the second
of three “stuck” events for our team for the day, while she also
captured 2 additional Medals on Vault where she was 4th, and
in her All-Around, with
an 8th Place
finish.
LAURA
had 3 CAREER HIGHS; Beam, All-Around, and her best ever Floor, which won
her the
10th Place
Award on that event.
OLIVIA
also had 3 PERSONAL BESTS, each in the same categories as her teammate
LAURA, as she too, finished the year off with big routines on Beam,
Floor, and Overall. LIV was awarded the
8th Place
Medal with her performance on Floor Exercise.
Having
our team’s other “stuck” Beam was ALLINA, who tied a CAREER HIGH
8.1 on that apparatus and also gave her the
2nd Place
Medal on the event. Her 28.125 All-Around was a PERSONAL BEST for her
and notched her 10th Place there, while her Floor effort was
not only another PB, but it also won her 4th Place on the
event and had one opposing parent commenting, “that was the most-fun
and possibly the best routine I’ve seen this weekend”!
ALLINA,
MADDY, KELSEY, and OLIVIA all have qualified to move up to JOGA Level 5
next season, which combined with the other girls, should be a very
strong squad.
With
over 800 athletes in the JOGA League, just making it to States is a huge
accomplishment! COACHES KIM, ERIK, SHANNON, PENNY, and OLIVIA are very
proud of all of our gymnasts’ efforts and will look forward towards
helping them have even more successes, as they continue to improve and
build on the great foundation they already have.
BIG

this weekend!

Sunday the

complete their third meet of the year while our 5 and 6 squads
finished out their regular season competitions.
The 3’s

Bars, and Beam respectfully. MARGAUX
led the team with a 32.6 All-Around, which was the high score of
the day for all of our GYMDAWGS. BRIANNA

just missed PBs on Bars and in her All-Around, where her overall
score gave her the 2ND PLACE AWARD there. KYLIE
had a CAREER HIGH on Floor which won her the 1ST PLACE
MEDAL on that event, while she had one of the SEVEN “STUCK”
Beam routines for the Level 5 and 6 squads combined. Both TORI
and KYLIE have the opportunity to compete after Level 5 States if they

with a stuck routine. CASSIDY
too, had no falls on Beam and her score there was her best this
season.
For the Level
6’s, they had their highest event score of the year with their

was a PERSONAL BEST and gave her 5
straight meets of improving her total AA score. She too had a
nice stuck Beam event. In finishing up her inaugural season as a
competitive gymnast, ABBIE
also raised her All-Around 5
consecutive meets, with her 25.0 total score being an
improvement of 2.5 points from her last meet and a sick, 7
point improvement from her opening competition this year! ABBIE

2009 10 GYMDAWG JIVE # 4
This past
weekend our Level 3 Team was able to put up a “team” score, albeit,
the squad is still short-handed due to some injury issues.
BRIANNA,
HALEY, and MARGAUX were able to score a 94.8 in the competition, with
each girl achieving a PERSONAL BEST score.
MARGAUX
was the meet’s high scorer for all of our gymnasts at 32.35 as she had
a CAREER HIGH on Bars. BRI was just behind her at 32.1, and she too had
a PERSONAL BEST on the Uneven Bar event. Both girls have qualified for
Level 3 States. HALEY ended her rotations with a great floor routine,
giving her a CAREER BEST there with an 8.5.
The
Level 4 girls had just 2 gymnasts in this event with MEGAN and ALYSSA
representing our GYMDAWGS. ALYSSA just missed on a PB on floor, but her
All-Around total gave her the necessary 2nd score needed for
Level 4 States. MEG had a CAREER HIGH on Floor exercise with an 8 for
the first time in her competition career.
ASHLEY
led all Level 5 gymnasts with a PERSONAL BEST 29.3 total score. In
addition, she added CAREER HIGHS on Bars and on Floor, where one noted
judge commented, “There are very few, if any, deductions in this
routine”. ASH has now
achieved her 2nd score necessary to move on to Level 4 next
season. After Level 5 States, ASHLEY will be given the opportunity to
“extend” her competition season, as we will have 2 Level 3/4 meets
remaining on our schedule.
KYLIE
had another solid meet, just missing out on her second Level 4 total,
while putting up a PERSONAL BEST score on Floor.
CAITLYN
and CASSIDY each had CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores while “Z” nailed Beam
for the second meet in a row with a “STUCK” routine on that event.
The
Level 6’s were paced by MADDY with a 27.3 All-Around. MADDY also had a
PERSONAL BEST on Bars in this competition.
LAURA
and GABBY both had 3 CAREER HIGHS, including their All-Arounds, with
Vault and Bars the other events respectfully for PBs.
ABBIE
continued to improve in this her first season, and for us, our only
7-year old competitor, as she had 2 PERSONAL BESTS which included her
All-Around where she improved her previous high score for the 4th
straight meet.
ALLINA
and KELSEY both had strong Floor routines and their efforts there
rewarded them with CARRER HIGHS on that event.
OLIVIA
had the opportunity of starting on Beam for our squad and rewarded that
decision with a “STUCK” routine, the very first of her career.
KELSEY,
OLIVIA, ALLINA, and MADDY have all scored enough to move onto LEVEL 5
for next season.
THANK
YOUS go to SARAH and KATIE who spent their afternoon supporting their
teammates; and also to TORI, who was a scratch, but still came to the
meet and was a great help on the floor.
There
is one final competition for our Level 5 and 6’s before States and
that will be in our DAWGHOUSE on SUNDAY January 24th. It’s
a double-session with our Level 3 and 4’s starting the day off in the
morning meet. This will serve as a final tune-up for the 5 and 6
gymnasts before the State final on Valentine’s weekend, which 11 of
our 12 competitors have qualified for.

# 2 and
# 3
(1/11/10)
Level 5/6 girls are off back-to-back meets while the 3’s and 4’s had
their opening competition last weekend, which was a snow makeup from our
postponed December 20th affair.
Highlights
from that January 2nd competition included 35 PERSONAL BESTS,
with 10 of our girls gaining their 2nd qualifying score
needed for States.
In the
first session of the day, ASHLEY had the meet’s INDIVIDUAL HIGH
SCORE of the competition with an awesome 8.65 effort on Beam, where she
was one of 6 EXTREME gymnasts who had “STUCK” routines on that
event. Her high score tally on that apparatus gave ASH a PERSONAL
BEST there.
TORI
scored 8’s for the first time in her career on Floor and Beam, where
she also had a routine without falls. In addition she added a PB on
Bars.
ALLINA
had a CAREER BEST 8 on Beam as well with another “STUCK” event
there.
LAURA
had very first, FIRST PLACE AWARD on Floor which was 1 of her 2 PERSONAL
BESTS for the meet. Her other was in the All-Around.
KELSEY,
GABBY, OLIVIA, MADDY, KYLIE and CASSIDY added 12 more PERSONAL BESTS
for the Level 5’s and 6’s as both TEAMS improved their TEAM SCORES;
each by 1.25 from their opening meets.
Our only
7- year old competitor, ABBIE, had a huge jump from her first
ever meet, improving her All-Around by over 3 points which was just 1 of
5 CAREER HIGHS for her on the day.
For the
Level 3 and 4 Teams, 5 of the 6 girls who competed received their first
qualifying score for States.
HALEY
did not compete all of the events due to injury but still managed to put
up respectable numbers despite the handicap.
Scoring
9’s, which were the only 9’s of either competition were MARGAUX
and BRIANNA.
BRI’s
came on Vault were her Tsuk gave her a PERSONAL BEST on that event and
helped her with a CAREER HIGH in her All-Around as well.
MARGAUX
had her 9 on Floor and added an 8.9 on Vault, which combined with her
other events totaled 33.2 All-Around which was the HIGH SCORE for the
day.
MEG,
ALYSSA, and KIM combined for 6 more CAREER HIGHS, with both ALYSSA
and KIM “STICKING” their Beam events, and ALYSSA busting
30 and change for the first time ever.
THANK
YOUS go to FAMILY, PARENTS, TEAMMATES, and FRIENDS for their HELP and
SUPPORT at this affair.
This past
Sunday, the Level 5 and 6 TEAMS had their third competition of the year.
For the Level 5’s they had their HIGHEST TEAM SCORE of the season,
with all 5 gymnasts having at least 1 CONTRIBUTING TEAM SCORE towards
the 89.5 total.
That
result enabled our squad to be the recipient of the SECOND PLACE TEAM
trophy at the event.
KYLIE
was HIGH SCORER for the TEAM at 29.55, which was 1 of her 3 PERSONAL
BESTS for the competition. Noteworthy in her efforts is the fact that
she scored an 8 on Floor for the first time, while she improved her Bar
score by almost a full point.
CAITLYN
had an outstanding Beam routine that not only did she “STICK”, but
also gave her a PERSONAL BEST SCORE of an 8; the first of her career on
that event, and an improvement of 2 points from her opening meet this
year! “Z” also had a PB in her All-Around.
Rounding
out the squad, CASSIDY, TORI, and ASHLEY combined for 3
additional CAREER HIGHS, as all of our Level 5 TEAM will be going to
STATES.
Not to be
outdone, the Level 6 TEAM also WON the SECOND PLACE TEAM AWARD, as our
girls on that squad had 21 more PERSONAL BESTS!
HIGH
SCORER for the TEAM was MADDY who had a 27.95, good enough for a
PERSONAL BEST, which was 1 of 4 CAREER HIGHS for her on the day.
Also
having 4 PERSONAL BESTS were GABBY, who had an improvement of a
point and a half in her All-Around, and ABBIE, who has now
improved her total score by almost 5 points since the opening meet of
her young career.
LAURA
as well, had 4 CAREER HIGHS as she has improved her Floor score now in
each of the 3 meets this year.
OLIVIA
got her first 7 ever on Floor, as she combined with KELSEY and ALLINA
for 5 more PERSONAL BESTS.
Shout-outs
go to MEG and BRIANNA for spending the day supporting their
TEAMMATES.
While
these last 2 meets give cause for optimism for our TEAMS, with 11 of 12
Level 5 and 6 gymnasts having now made States, the reality is that there
is so much more room for improvement.
The
COACHING STAFF of KIM, ERIK, SHANNON, OLIVIA, and PENNY, while
proud of the girls’ efforts, will be looking to make the necessary
improvements needed for a “peak” showing at States, upcoming on
Valentine’s weekend.
The next 2
weekends the TEAMS have meets, with a January 24th double session in our
DAWGHOUSE.
BE EXTREME! GO DAWGS!
GYMDAWG
JIVE # 1 2009 10 SEASON
1st meet of the year for
our EXTREME TEAM, and our kids kicked off this season in pretty fine
fashion. 10 of 12 girls had contributing scores towards the 2 team
totals, while there were 15 PERSONAL BESTS from our returning gymnasts.
With 11 of 12 gaining their 1st of 2 scores necessary for
States!
High scorer for the squad and also
high scorer for the entire event was ASHLEY who put up a 29.20 in her J5
Level debut. That
1st Place
All-Around total gave her a PERSONAL BEST score while ASH also had 3
additional CAREER HIGHS on Bars, Beam, and Floor.
CAITLYN had the meet’s high
individual event score with an 8.1 on Vault. Z’s score was also the
only 8 of the competition!
TORI and CASSIDY each had a
PERSONAL BEST, with TORI tying a high score on 2 other events, while
KYLIE had 2 CAREER HIGHS, including a PB in her ALL-Around.
All 5 J5 gymnasts contributed
scores to the team’s 85.8 total.
At J6 Level, leading scorer for
our GYMDAWGS was ALLINA who scored 27.5 in her All-Around. She had
PERSONAL BESTS on Bars and Beam, where she went 7.4 on that event.
OLIVIA and LAURA each had 3
CAREER HIGHS, all in the same categories, Vault, Bars, and most
importantly, their All-Arounds.
The team’s 4 first year
competitors handled themselves in really a most admirable way.
ABBIE, our youngest gymnast at
7-years old, shook off some warm-up nerves and wound up “STICKING”
her Beam routine; the only gymnast on the squad to nail this event!
GABBY and MADDY combined for 4
CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores for the J6 Level team. MADDY won 1st
Place in her age group All-Around, while GABBY just missed out on
winning Vault due to a tie-breaker.
Winning the
1st Place
All-Around Award in the 7-8 age group was ASHLEY’S younger sister
KELSEY, which obviously made for a fine day in their parent’s
household! KELSEY added 3 CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores towards the J6 Level
team’s 82.8 final score.
All-in all, our coaches, KIM,
ERIK, OLIVIA,
SHANNON
, and PENNY, were very proud of our girls in what was a very competitive
meet.
Of shout-out importance goes to
our parents, family and friends for all of their help in getting this
meet season started, and a special THANK YOU to ALL of the other
GYMDAWGS who were not competing for their efforts and support of their
TEAMMATES!
GO
DAWGS! BE EXTREME!
GYMDAWG JIVE 10 FINAL 2008 09
The 2008-2009 JOGA year ended this past weekend as
6 of our gymnasts completed their seasons at Level B States.
In the season finale, our GYMDAWGS, out of 39
squads, managed to finish as the 10th best Level B team in
the State!
Making for a total team effort, each of our
competitors had at least 1contributing team score towards our overall
tally.
In addition, individually, every girl placed, while
they had 27 TOP-15 MEDALS, with 11 TOP-5 AWARDS!
Leading scorer for the team, as she was in 4 of her
5 meets this season was SARAH, who posted a 31.175 total, which gave her
the THIRD PLACE AWARD in the All-Around. SARAH added a FOURTH on Bars, a
SECOND on Vault, while on Floor, she put on a wonderful routine that was
filled with great big leaps and jumps and tight, crisp tumbling. Her
effort on Floor exercise was rewarded with the FIRST PLACE MEDAL in the
event making SARAH the Level B FLOOR STATE CHAMPION in her age
group!
SARAH’s championship gives COACH KIM 47 STATE
CHAMPIONS now in her JOGA coaching career.
HALEY finished her season very strong with a
“stuck” Beam routine that gave her the THIRD PLACE MEDAL in that
event. She also nailed her dismount on Bars where she finished FOURTH,
while overall, she wound up in FIFTH PLACE in the All-Around with a
31.05 score.
In the early session, BRIANNA had a “stuck”
Beam routine as well, as she took the FOURTH PLACE AWARD on that
apparatus.
ANA was also in this age-group of the first
session, which was perhaps the toughest,
if not the biggest group of the day. Both girls accounted for themselves
nicely as ANA connected her tough dismount on Beam to finish SEVENTH
there, while BRI chipped in with 2 additional TOP 10 finishes on Bars
and in her All-Around.
MARGAUX crushed Vault, just missing on a CAREER
HIGH there. Her effort on that event, as well as on Floor gave her 2
THIRD PLACE AWARDS for the competition.
Ending the day in the last session was KIM, who had
the only PERSONAL BEST SCORE for our squad in winning the FOURTH PLACE
MEDAL on floor. KIM improved her score on that event for the 4th
straight meet, while she too “stuck” her Beam routine.
In attendance but unfortunately unable to compete
due to injury, was KATE, who will look towards next
year to drill her monster Vault!
Also at the event to support and cheer on their
GYMDAWG teammates were TORI, KAT, ALYSSA, and CASSIDY. Thank you girls!
With half the team “sticking” Beam, and EVERY
GIRL contributing a team score, COACHES KIM and ERIK were very proud and
pleased with the overall results generated by the GREAT EFFORTS of our
GYMDAWGS! This TEAM is set up quite nicely for next year as we will have
veterans at all levels for COACHES KIM, ERIK, SHANNON, PENNY, and OLIVIA
to work with!
Thank you PARENTS for an awesome year!
GO DAWGS! BE EXTREME!
GYMDAWG JIVE 9 2008

Great
“bounce back’ effort from our lady GYMDAWGS this past Sunday, as the
girls had a much improved performance from the week prior. Our squad had
12 PERSONAL BESTS, with 6 of 8 gymnasts having CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores;
vault and floor had the 2 HIGHEST EVENT scores this season, while the
TEAM OVERALL total of 97.75 was good enough for FIRST PLACE TEAM!
In
finishing up her Level B season, coming out of Level C, ALYSSA showed
that she can hang tough and that she truly belongs at this level as she
posted 2 PERSONAL BESTS on bars and on floor. ALYSSA should be a major
force next season!
Also
finishing out her year at Level B after extending her season after C
States was KAT, who had 3 CAREER HIGHS, on floor, bars, and her
all-around. KAT also had a “stuck” beam routine, giving her 3 stuck
beams in a row. Oh! She also holds the distinction of never
falling off beam as a Level B!
Coming
back strong this week was HALEY who had her highest floor of this
season. HALEY also nailed her beam giving us the 2nd of 3
“sticks” on that event. Noteworthy too, is the fact that she threw
her bar dismount without an assist and that should be huge bump in her
score by the time States is here!
“Tough-chick”
award goes out to KATIE who hyper-extended her knees on her first
tumbling pass on floor…and still
finished her routine! Prior to that, KATE tied a PERSONAL BEST on
bars, while she took
FIRST PLACE
on vault in her age group with a monstrous tsuk.
ANA
had 5 TOP 3 AWARDS, while she posted a PERSONAL BEST score on bars. ANA
was injured before States last season, so she is anxiously awaiting her
first-ever States competition in the Level B finale this year!
MARGAUX
had a great finish to this meet with her 9.15 score on floor. That lofty
number was not only a PERSONAL BEST for her on that event, but it was
also the first-ever 9 of her gymnastics CAREER! MARGAUX tied for a
CAREER HIGH on vault as well.
Growing
up to be a “big-girl” gymnast right before our eyes is KIM, who
continues to improve with every meet, as she has a renewed focus and
enthusiasm that is very evident. In raising her over-all total score,
she has now posted PERSONAL BEST scores in her all-around for the third
consecutive meet! KIM “stuck” her beam routine for the second
competition in a row, and her score on that event also gave her a
PERSONAL BEST there. It should be noted, KIM has now increased her score
on beam in every meet this year which bodes well for States!
BRIANNA
had your basic kick-butt meet, as she was our TEAM’S HIGH SCORER with
a 32.15! That PERSONAL BEST all-around score topped her previous high by
over a point, while she has now improved her overall score in 4 straight
meets! BRI had another PERSONAL BEST on floor, while her third CAREER
HIGH came on vault where her Tsukahara had both power and amplitude and
was stuck for the first time this year! Her all-around score gave her
the first qualifying score necessary for Level A.
Not
to put pressure on BRI or MARGAUX for that matter, but at States,
expectations will be that those girls get their second “A” score so
that SARAH has somebody to play with next year…
THANK
YOUS to OLIVIA, KYLIE, TORI, CASSIDY, and MEG who not only came to help
out, but also to lend support to their TEAMMATES as well!
Next
meet will be in about a month as all 7 of our GYMDAWGS will be at Level
B STATES, where the COACHING STAFF expects even further improvement from
each and every one of our competitors as they strive to have their
season’s absolute, BEST EFFORTS!
GO DAWGS!

Third meet of the season for our Level B squad was held this past
Sunday, here in our DAWGHOUSE. The girls set a new Level B TEAM HIGH
SCORE here at EXTREME GYMNASTICS by posting a 99.25! They also set
season highs on ALL 4 events, with the highlight being the 25.2 on Beam,
where we had 3 “STUCK” routines!
Individually,
our GYMDAWGS had 19 PERSONAL BESTS on the day!
All-around
high scorer for the TEAM was MARGAUX who put up a CAREER BEST 33.95!
That gives MARGAUX not only her 1st Level B+ qualifying
score, but also her 1st “A” score needed for advancement.
She added PERSONAL BESTS on Floor and on Beam, where she once again
nailed a “STUCK” routine for back-to-back meets!
Having
4 PERSONAL BESTS, in this her first Level B meet, was MEG who busted 31
and change after going to C-States! MEG also hit her Beam as she scored
an 8.4 there, besting her previous high on that event by over a point!
KATIE
had PERSONAL BESTS on Bars, Floor, as well as in her All-around. She
also nailed her TSUK vault for the second time this year!
KIM
also had 3 CAREER TOP SCORES, with hers coming on vault, (“big-girl
size”), Bars, and All-Around. She also got her 1st
qualifying score needed for B States.
SARAH
had a PERSONAL BEST on vault plus 3 CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores, while she
also received her 2nd “A” score needed for the next
Level!
2
girls also in their 1st Level B meets of their careers were
ALYSSA and KAT, who combined for 4 more PERSONAL BESTS. KAT improved her
All-around by almost a full point and also “STUCK” her Beam. While
ALYSSA’S highlight came on Floor, where not only did she have a
CONTRIBUTING TEAM score there, but it was also her 1st 8 ever
on that event!
HALEY
had a CONTRIBUTING TEAM score and was her usual consistent self in
scoring 31+ for the third straight meet.
ANA
continued her scoring rise on Bars as for the 2nd straight
competition; she improved her CAREER BEST on that event by a lot!
If
there was a negative to the day, it was BRIANNA having to scratch her
last 3 events after tweaking her knee during vault. Still, she was a
TEAM PLAYER throughout in staying and rooting her mates on. BRI should
be fine in time for the next meet in March.
Much
thanks to all of the parents and kids and other TEAM MEMBERS who helped
with this event. You guys were awesome!
GO DAWGS!

GYMDAWG JIVE 6 020809 FINAL LEVEL C
Level C States was the happening this past weekend for 8 of our girls.
TORI started the the sessions off for our GYMDAWGS by scoring a near
PERSONAL BEST on vault. Significant in that beginning was the fact that
she was the first of our 8 gymnasts to score at least an 8 or higher in
this event! TORI finished her first year competing as one of our most
consistent beam workers.
Next
session came MEG, CASSIDY, and ALYSSA and these girls combined for 6
PERSONAL BESTS among them.
MEG’S
PERSONAL BEST occurred on floor; an event that she has gotten better at
as this year has gone on. MEG had the HIGH ALL-AROUND SCORE for the 2
days in totaling 29.475. She
will look to extend her season now as a Level B.
CASSIDY
nailed her beam routine, “STICKING” this event in back to back
meets. She had her PERSONAL BESTS on vault and floor, while she scored
the first 8 of her career in this, her season finale.
ALYSSA was amped to the max for this meet and it showed as she improved
her PERSONAL BEST all-around by over
2 points! ALYSSA’S floor exercise was another CAREER HIGH, as was
her bars, where she posted a 6 for the first time.
The
Sunday morning session had ASHLEY, KAT, and KYLIE combining for another
6-pack of PERSONAL BESTS.
KAT
came close to duplicating her monster vault from earlier in the year in
going 8.4 on this event. That score was our TEAM INDIVIDUAL HIGH SCORE
for the weekend and it was good enough to award KAT the 2ND
PLACE MEDAL there. KAT will also be adding some extra time to her season
as she will compete the remainder of this year as a Level B.
ASHLEY had CAREER
HIGHS on floor and on vault where she too scored her first career 8. In
her season final, ASH put up a 3rd PERSONAL BEST in her all-around,
where she improved that number by just about a full point!
KYLIE
put up 3 PERSONAL BESTS on vault and floor, and her all-around as
well!
Her total overall score beat her previous all-around by a full point!
CAITLYN
ended our sessions in fine fashion by posting 4 PERSONAL BESTS! “Z”
had perhaps her finest floor routine of her career as she had highs
there, on beam, vault and her all-around. As was the theme of the 2
days, she also improved her all-around mark by a point while she had the
very first 8 of her career as well in her season-ending effort!
Overall
for this final competition of the Level C season, the girls posted a total of 16 PERSONAL
BESTS; they had their highest floor score of the season, and, their 2nd
highest total TEAM score of the year! Hats off ladies, you REALLY done
quite right for yourselves and made us all very proud!
The
coaches, from KIM, to ERIK, to DAVE, to PENNY, to OLIVIA, and SHANNON,
your efforts and work with these girls should be commended! Having 11
first year competitors on this squad and having 7 of those newbies go to
States is a great accomplishment! The combined hard work of BOTH
gymnasts and coaches is not only recognized in the results of this
season, but should make for a great future in the months and years to
come!
GO DAWGS-BE EXTREME!
GYMDAWG JIVE # 5 2008 09
The Level C regular season ended this past Sunday with some
impressive numbers being put up by our youngsters, most significant of
which was the HIGHEST TEAM SCORE of the year as the Level C’s totaled
88.125!
Important too is the fact
that the C TEAM also achieved 20 more
individual PERSONAL BESTS for the day!
MEG was the leading scorer for the C’s with a 29.55. MEG, together
with ASHLEY, KAT, CAITLYN, and FRANNIE, combined for 5 PERSONAL BEST
scores, 5 CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores, and 6 TOP 5 PLACES, with one of the
highlights being FRANNIE’s improvement on floor by a full point!
LAURA had 2 PERSONAL HIGH SCORES, while tying for 2 others.
OLIVIA also had 2 PERSONAL
BESTS with a 1.5 point increase in her all-around.
TORI just missed a Level B
score in posting her highest all-around to date. She also had another
PERSONAL HIGH SCORE on floor.
ALYSSA went for a bunch of
new skills as she too posted 2 PERSONAL BESTS.
KYLIE had her highest
all-around, while scoring her first career 8 on vault, which was a
PERSONAL BEST as well.
CASSIDY needed a 5.9 on
beam to qualify for STATES, and she busted that number up pretty good in
going 7.55 with a “STUCK” routine. Not only was that beam score a
PERSONAL BEST, but it enabled our C TEAM to now have 8 gymnasts at
STATES! CASS also had her HIGHEST all-around to date as well.
Also “STICKING” her
beam routine was ALLINA, who had a very impressive meet to end her
season. ALLINA swept the board with 5 PERSONAL BESTS! Her all-around
total was a full 3 point increase from her previous high!
Each and every one of the Level C’s should have a sense of pride with
the conclusion of the regular season. For those 8 going to STATES, we’re
expecting the SUCCESSES to continue, both as a TEAM and individually.
And for those whose seasons ended this past weekend, the strides that
you have made as gymnasts were monumental as there were improvements and
accomplishments that went way beyond our expectations! So keep it going
and continue to work hard and ensure that our C TEAM will be in good
hands for next season!
Onto the Level B girls, one
gets the impression that there could be something special here.
5 of the girls have already
qualified for STATES after the 1st 2 meets.
2 others have their first
STATE score.
Sunday, in WINNING the 2nd
PLACE TEAM AWARD in back-to-back weekends, and going up against some
really tough competition mind you, the B’s put up a score of 97.75,
which just happens to be a new EXTREME Level B record!
And for the second time in
2 opportunities, EXTREME had the HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL scorer for the meet,
as MARGAUX had just an absolutely sick, “STUCK” beam routine!
MARGAUX went 8.7 on that event, improving her previous high by a full
point, while she has now gone 2 meets in a row of increasing her
PERSONAL BEST on the balance beam.
As she was in the last meet, the leading scorer for the TEAM was
SARAH who scored 32.45 and received her first Level A score of the year.
SARAH also had a PERSONAL BEST on beam and she too “STUCK” her
routine. Her all-around was a CAREER HIGH as well.
JESS came out in fine fashion in what was her opening meet of the year,
as she had 4 PERSONAL BESTS.
ANA put up 3 PERSONAL HIGH scores, including her first 30 in her
all-around, while HALEY, KATIE and BRI combined for 4 other CAREER
HIGHS.
Together, the TEAM tallied 14 PERSONAL BESTS while tying for 5 others.
The squad has their next
meet in our DAWG HOUSE.
Expectations are for more
“STUCK” beam routines, a STINGIER outlook towards “giving away”
tenths, and an overall commitment towards continued progress and
improvements in all facets of their performances.
GO DAWGS!
GYMDAWG JIVE 4 2008 09 1/11/09
Lots to be excited about from Saturday, in what was
the opener for our Level B squad and next to last regular season
meet for our C girls.
7
PERSONAL BESTS were put up by the B’s and an awesome 32 PERSONAL
HIGHS from the Level C Team! The Level B girls wound up winning the
2ND PLACE TEAM AWARD for the event while the Level C’s
finished just out of trophy range in 3RD.
Many
highlights, starting right out of the gate as the
“gottahavegutz” award goes to ALLINA, who began the meet, not
only ripping off bars and taking a nasty fall, but ripping her
fingernail completely off in the process. ALLINA, finished her routine, and then promptly got her act
together and went out and posted 3 PERSONAL BESTS in the event!
TOUGH…
Somewhat
similar along those same lines, CASSIDY started this evening off in a most uncharacteristic
way. Then she too, composed herself, and also posted 3 PERSONAL
BESTS.
And in all honesty, MOST of our girls took it on the
chin to begin the meet as uneven bars were rough, with a lot of this
event, not in our girls’ control.
How
a gymnast handles adversity or difficulty or disappointment, or any
other non-success, usually determines not only what type of athlete
they are or will become, but more importantly, what type of people
they are. And from our standpoint, ALL of our young ladies should be
quite fine going thru life thank you.
FRANNIE
scored an 8 for the first time of her young career in
posting 2 PERSONAL BESTS.
ASHLEY
just missed an 8, but she too had 2 PERSONAL BESTS for the night.
KAT
won 1ST on vault while having a PERSONAL HIGH on beam.
CAITLYN,
OLIVIA, KYLIE, and LAURA each had 3 PERSONAL BESTS, with KYLIE
winning the 1ST PLACE AWARD on beam.
TORI
received the first 8 of her career, while for the
second time this season, she STUCK her beam routine. On the night,
she also had 3 PERSONAL HIGH SCORES.
Following
TORI on beam, and giving us back-to-back STUCK routines was ALYSSA, who on the day after her birthday treated herself by
getting her second score necessary for STATES. As has been the norm
on this night, ALYSSA
also nailed 3 PERSONAL BESTS.
Leading the Level C squad was MEGAN
who tallied the first 30 of her career in going 30.1 in her
all-around. That gave her the 1ST PLACE AWARD there as
she wound up with 4 PERSONAL HIGH SCORES for the meet. MEG also
achieved her 2ND Level B score as well.
For
the Level B girls, MARGAUX had a PERSONAL BEST on beam, had a
CONTRIBUTING TEAM score on floor where she took 2ND PLACE
, while she went 30 and change in her all-around.
ANA
had a 2ND, and 2 1ST PLACE
AWARDS, to go along with a couple of CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores.
BRI
had a CONTRIBUTING TEAM score plus 3 1ST PLACE finishes.
HALEY had
a goal of topping 31 and she did just that in scoring 31.4 in her
all-around. That gave her a PERSONAL BEST there. HALEY also had a PERSONAL HIGH score on vault, 3
CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores and a couple of 2ND PLACE AWARDS
for the night.
There
had to be big smiles in the household of SARAH and KATIE, as the 2 sisters made for a very memorable EXTREME
evening.
SARAH
hadn’t competed for our school in a couple of years
due to injury, but it is a credit to her determination and character
as she came back in strong fashion on Saturday night. She wound up
leading the TEAM in scoring in putting up a 31.45, which was the 2ND
HIGHEST all-around score of the meet. SARAH
had 4 CONTRIBUTING TEAM scores and a couple of 2ND PLACE
finishes to go along with her 1ST PLACE on vault, which
was a PERSONAL BEST score for her.
For
KATIE, she wound up the night scoring her first 30, 30.55 in her
all-around- a PERSONAL BEST. She also had a CAREER HIGH on beam. But
the big event for her, and our TEAM, came on vault where she threw a
Tsukahara and nailed it, giving our GYMDAWGS the first 9 of this
season! That gave KATE
another PERSONAL BEST there, as well as the 1ST PLACE
AWARD on that event. In addition, it was the HIGHEST individual
score for the entire meet!
One
of our TEAM’s catch phrases has always been “FINISH STRONG”.
Well,
that couldn’t have been any more evident this past weekend as with
our squads finishing up on vault, 14
of 18 gymnasts had PERSONAL BESTS on that event!
That’s
sick good…
WALK PROUD ladies, because you BARKED LOUD!
GO DAWGS!
GYMDAWG JIVE 3 2008 09
Despite
having meets on back-to-back weekends, our girls handled themselves
very well this past Sunday as they managed to post 15 PERSONAL BESTS
on the day!
Leading
the TEAM with a HIGH SCORE of 29.10 was KAT, who now has her 2 scores
required for Level B advancement. KAT swept the board in her age group
while tallying PERSONAL BESTS on beam and floor.
Having 3 CONTRIBUTING TEAM SCORES as well as 3 PERSONAL BESTS
was TORI. Her floor score was a PERSONAL HIGH for her as she helped
our GYMDAWGS achieve the highest TEAM floor score for any meet
this season. TORI’s vault and all-around were her other PERSONAL
TOPS to date.
OLIVIA improved her all-around by a point
and a half! And she too had 3 PERSONAL BESTS, as well as a
contributing TEAM score.
LAURA also put up a trifecta of PERSONAL BESTS, on bars, floor,
and her all-around, which she increased by 2
full points!
CAITLYN achieved her second score necessary for STATES and she
now gives us 6 gymnasts who have qualified for the post season!
“Z” also had 2 personal highs on floor and in her all-around.
FRANNIE improved her balance beam by a full
point as her nice routine on that event gave her not only a
PERSONAL BEST there, but also, a CONTRIBUTING TEAM SCORE.
CASSIDY had a CONTRIBUTING TEAM SCORE and a PERSONAL BEST on
floor, as she had her best performance to date on that event.
MEG, ASHLEY, ALYSSA, KYLIE, and ALLINA, together, combined for 11
TOP 7 AWARDS. As each girl had multiple PLACES in the meet while
having several CONTRIBUTING TEAM SCORES.
Overall, COACHES KIM and ERIK were pleased with the performances
of the girls as several of kids worked very hard during the week and
their efforts were well rewarded.
Shout outs go to KATIE and BRI who sung a kick-butt rendition of
“GOD BLESS
AMERICA
” to start the event off.
While also, MUCHO APPRECIATION goes out to ALL the PARENTS,
SIBLINGS, FRIENDS, and our other SUPPORTING GYMDAWG GYMNASTS, for all
of their help and work in getting the gym in order, both prior and
after the meet!
YOU
GUYS ROCK and we can’t THANK YOU enough! GO DAWGS!

achieved her 2nd score necessary for STATES as well as a
LEVEL B score. She also had the HIGH EVENT score for our TEAM as she
went 8.65 on vault.

her there. For her efforts, MEG will be going to STATES while she too,

point improvement on bars from her first meet! CASS scored enough in
her all around to get her first STATE score.
ASHLEY
had 4 PERSONAL BESTS as she topped her previous high in all around
scoring by a full point. ASH also achieved her 2nd STATE
