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.  Check out the live webcast at www.usagymchamps.com/live/
