Krista's Regional Division Team

This is the team of 4 girls that was selected from their club to enter the competitive level this year. They are in the "DR Poussine" group which stands for Regional Division 'Chickies'. It is the youngest possible team for competition. The competitions are REALLY quite and ordeal! There were some 500 girls in the Regional competition on the 16th!! Luckily the day is broken down by level, but it was still a really long day! It was a great first experience for Krista and they did a wonderful job. These girls put in a lot of work. They had an extra 2 hour training every week, in addition to the two other trainings per week (so Krista had Tues, Wed, Thurs nights!). It paid off though, as they won FIRST place in the Region and 2nd place in the Department (state). I put their two competitions side by side on the video clip below. They were much "tighter" in their first competition and didn't have any major errors. In the second competition there were a few significant errors (and thus 2nd place). This team is now finished for the season. Krista will continue with her individual 'Formation Cup level 3' and has one final competition in May for that. The final photo of her is with the new trophy that she got last night. The team passes it around from girl to girl and it will be kept for the Club.
