First fall gym meet of 2011

Kaiya had her first USAG meet of the season last weekend. Now that she's a level 6, the judging is getting harder and she has her work cut out for her to make it to the state meet. This is the last level before she gets to start doing "optionals", meaning she and her coaches create all of her routines. Check out these cool action shots!

She gave us a little scare on vault when she messed up her approach and almost crashed. This gal is getting so tough, though--she went back and did a second vault just fine.







Her bar routine was awesome, but the judges were ruthless.




The biggest surprise of the night came on balance beam. The beam has always been Kaiya's nemesis, but she went out there and rocked it! She had her highest score of the night on beam with an 8.30.












Cute pic of Kaiya and her lone Level 6 teammate that day, Courtney.

Overall, it was a great first meet and now she has a bit of a break until her next meet in mid-October.
