USA Gymnastics Championships – Day 5

Saturday was another action packed, adrenaline filled day!  Fairland adds 2 more Gold medals and 2 more podium finishes to its count!  Kaleb started the day right by winning gold on level 8, 10 and under tumbling. Megan followed with a 6th place finish in lvl 8, 14 yr old DMT and Alysha continued by adding an 8th place finish on level 8, 13 yr old DMT. 

Action then switched to the arena, where Jessica nailed her Junior Elite Trampoline finals routine to cinch the gold medal as well as a berth on the 2015-2016 Jr National Trampoline Team.

Delilah and Deana continued the streak with two awesome routines in Senior Elite Trampoline finals!  It was definitely an intense competition.  Athletes were not ‘taking it easy’, everyone was going for broke!  

The most surprising finish of the day was Fairland’s newest competitor, Franz (Neomie’s dad)! Absolutely fabulous execution of your tuck jump. The judges each awarded you with a perfect 10.0, and your airtime was practically immeasurable-we think both feet actually left the trampoline!  Unfortunately, you were not in proper Fairland attire, please see Konstantin once we get back home!

The 2015 USA Gymnastics Championships wraps up tomorrow.  Addison, Lily, Kaleb, and Neomie will compete DMT, Megan – TR, and Alysha – TU.  GOOD LUCK and Go Fairland!!!!
