IL state champ!

drove out to Northbrook with the girls – excited and a little nervous. Лена got settled, and her team started to arrive, so i hung out and watched the end of the level 9 competition. then it was on to the level 3 girls, and Mira’s floor routine was up first. many, many routines later it was over, and all of the girls on the team did great. stuck around for a few more hours waiting on the awards ceremony. turns out Mira was second in hoop and floor, and first in ball. was psyched when it was announced she was also the all-around champion – very proud dad. Mexican for dinner across the street and finally a long drive home.
