Our Champion!


Rhythmic Gymnastics

I'm so proud of Krista. She was the Regional Champion this year in rhythmic gymnastics. There were nearly 100 little girls involved in this competition and Krista received the most points. It was her first season in rhythmic gymnastics and it couldn't have gone better. It really is her sport. It is such a nice combination of ballet, modern dance and gymnastics all wrapped into one--how could she not love it?!

For an end-of-the-year event a few weeks ago, they had some of the older girls give a sampling of the sport at their various levels followed by snacks and drinks (AND a surprise award dedication to Krista!). Krista loves watching the older girls perform so she REALLY enjoyed this evening. During the event, her trainer surprised her with an award presentation (a medal and a trophy)! Krista was completely taken off guard, but loved every moment of the glory....AND she is so happy with her FIRST big trophy!

Hopefully next season will go equally as well. She just LOVED her trainer this season, so we are sad to say goodbye. Her coach was so dedicated, supportive and encouraging towards all the girls--a really wonderful lady. Here's a photo of Krista with her coach on the award night.

I also put together a video of highlights from the season.
