Gymnastics

Emery's gymnastics career was fun but short lived. It seemed like she had something going until she tore her fascia last year. As much as she likes gymnastics, she decided she didn't want to continue for the sake of her health. What a long term thinking 9 year-old I have!

But before she retired, she competed one last time at the Liberty Championships. Here's her floor routine - 9.800, good for 2nd place.

In the vault, she got a 9.750, also good for 2nd place.

She was 1st place on bars with a 9.600.

Unfortunately, I was a tad late on the beam. Sorry Emz. She couldn't quite stay on the beam, but she still managed a 9.775, good for 2nd place.

Her all around score was a 38.925. It was tied for 1st place but due to tie breaker rules, she ended up 2nd. Great job Emery!

Not a bad day and not a bad way to retire.
