USA Gymnastics Championships — Day 2
As expected, today was another hot one! Let’s talk snow days! Did you know . . . .even with 0 snow days, Howard, Montgomery, and Prince George Counties will still be in school during the 2016 USA Gymnastics Championships? USA Gymnastics announced the 2016 USA Gymnastics Championships will be in Providence, Rhode Island from June 8 -13 (yes, we can drive). Why so early? If the US qualifies for the 2016 Olympics, the Olympic athletes will be determined at the event! But wait we can’t talk school snow days—Howard County hasn’t even been out a week! I should have went with the vocal cord cooling thoughts of Sonic milkshakes or Wendy’s Frosty’s (both very close to the venue) or Steak ‘n Shake and Dairy Queen (very close to a lot of our hotels)! It seemed like Fairland had one of the more ‘vocal’ cheering sections . . or maybe it seemed that way to me because I sat in front of the group!
Wednesday started preliminary competition for some of our level 9, 10 and open elite athletes. In order to qualify for finals competition, athletes must place in the top 8 in preliminary competition. Scores are cumulative-carrying over from prelims to finals. In finals, athletes compete in reverse order of their finish in the preliminary round: 8th place will compete 1st and the first place finisher in preliminaries will compete last. Finals for level 9 and open elites are Friday morning, level 10 finals are Friday afternoon. Full results are being posted on the competition website: www.USAGymChamps.com Great job to all the athletes who competed today! Preliminary competition continues tomorrow for levels 9, 10, open elites and junior elites. Good luck to all our athletes. Go Fairland!

USA Gymnastics Championships – Day 1
Some of our athletes and families traveled to the USA Gymnastics Championships in Greensboro, N.C. a day or two early for synchro training and/or judges and coaches certification on Monday. All athletes who are attending the USA Gymnastics Championships had training at some point on Tuesday. Notice I did say TRAINING and not warm-up because all you have to do is go outside to warm-up! I guess it is good that there is not much to do within a 1 mile walking distance of the venue because it is too hot to walk to it anyway! For anyone who likes saunas, come on down!
Tuesday also kicked off competition with synchronized trampoline. Fairland had 9 athletes competing in synchro. I know, 9 is an odd number. How do you pair an odd number? We’ll get to that!
- Sean and Miles paired up for Level 10, 17 and over men’s synchro.
- Lily and Jasmine paired up for level 10, 17 and over women’s synchro.
- Giselle and Kelsey paired up for Open Elite Women’s synchro.
- Ivanna and Deana paired up for Senior Elite Women’s synchro.
- And the odd number: Jessica paired up with Alyssa (from Technique in California) for Junior Elite Women’s synchro.
Sean/Miles and Lily/Jasmine both held on for bronze medal finishes. This is Lily’s 1st Nationals medal–yea! Ivanna/Deana finished with a bronze medal. After a major routine change during Monday’s training session, Jessica and Alyssa finished just off the podium in 4th. The highlight of the day is Kelsey/Giselle’s GOLD medal in Open Elite Women’s Synchro! To top it off, this is Giselle’s 1st Nationals medal!
Wednesday promises to be just as busy (and warm)! Miles, Addison, and Jasmine will compete in level 9 tumbling. Neomie, Lily, Addison, and Andrew will compete in trampoline. Alex, Wolfgang, Delilah, Noah, Giselle, Jasmine, and Miles will compete in double mini. Jr and Sr elites will have training in their competition venue and our level 8s will get an opportunity to have a separate practice as well. Good luck to all our athletes!
Athletes, you all got selfie sticks. Use them and take some fun pictures (I know you all have phones)! Email some pictures to me or I might have to post a picture of my cat!

USA Gymnastics Championships – Friday recap
After 3 long days of competition, Fairland had a morning free of competition. It gave our athletes and coaches a short, but welcomed break to sleep in, relax, sight-see, and catch up on life!
Eli and Alex (JJ) started the afternoon with a silver medal in lvl 9, 15-16 boys synchro, and Kelsey and Delilah finished the afternoon with the gold medal in open elite synchro.
This evening kicked off individual trampoline for the senior elites. Deana gave us a scare with her fall, but we were all happy to see her up and walking shortly afterwards. It was great seeing Wolfgang back out on the competition floor. Congratulations to Ivanna and Deana for qualifying for the semi-finals competition!
Tomorrow will be another busy day for Fairland. The day starts early with Jessica participating in the ODP/EDP demonstration. Our four Regional All-Stars (Stephanie, Delilah, Lily, and Sean) will compete in the Regional All-Star Competition at 1:00 pm in the Kentucky International Convention Center. Junior and Open Elite finals are shortly thereafter in the KFC YUM! Center. The competition concludes tomorrow night with Senior Elite Semi-finals and Finals.
