State; 3rd Bars 9.5, 4th Beam 9.45, and 3rd AA 37.60
Well she pulled off the ultimate in peaking by finishing the season with a 37.6 AA! She had one of the best meets of her life and she had a lot of fun doing it. With team mate Madeline Huber finishing 1st AA, and Cameron from SLGC unbelievably edging out Jordan with a 9.6 on floor and a 9.7 on beam in her last two events, this was a riveting state meet for Mom and Dad as well. On bars, Jordan threw her best routine of the year. Then team mate Madeline Huber topped it and finally team mate Alison Beckamann stuck her routine and the scores kept going up... they finished 1,2,3 with Allison earning her first State Champion honor. And to top it all off, TC level 7 won the State Championship. Way to go girls!
StLClassic; 1st Bars, 2nd Floor, 2nd AA 37.375
Jordan had a great meet winning bars for the second time this year! All the hard work is paying off and she is competing with confidence and consistency. Can't wait for the state meet! Scores: Vault 9.175 7th, Bars 9.300 1st, Beam 9.450 3rd, Floor 9.450 2nd, All Around 37.375 2nd
Circle of Stars in Indy; 1st Floor 9.7, AA 37.075
This was by far Jordan's best floor routine this year. Stick, stick, stick, stick... with lots of big stuff in between. What a fun meet! She finally beat her goal of 37 All-Around. Praise God! Scores: Vault 9.15, Bars 8.9, Beam 9.325, Floor 9.7 AA 37.075
IGI Chicago Style; 1st Floor 9.45, AA 36.75
Jordan had another great meet with her first floor win of the year. The choreography in her routine is proving to be very good after seeing hundreds of routines (now halfway through the season.) She competed her front pass with a swollen pinky finger from bars even though it hurt "real bad." We had a lot of fun taking the train this year and it was much more relaxing than making the drive. No site seeing this year, only Chicago food and gymnastics.
This is Jordans beam routine trying not to use her right fingers. She fell in warm-ups and her right pinky was as big as her thumb. Doc gave her the ok so she hopped up on the beam and stuck it out. Note the big wobbles, all to her left side.
Gateway Challenge in Collinsville; AA 36.75
Had to buy this awesome pic (Mom & Dad forgot the cameras)
SLGC Open; 1st Bars, 2nd Vault, 2nd AA 36.475
This is a huge accomplishment! It has been two years since Jordan has won the Uneven Parallel Bars and she finally did it again. With a picture perfect routine (according to Mom and Dad) Jordan swung to a 9.35 for 1st in the 11 year old division. She also boomed a 9.4 on vault for 2nd.
