Last Friday night there was a gynmnastics evening and award presentation for Krista. Krista knew that she would be doing a group and individual routine that evening, but she had NO idea she would be getting an award! At the end of May she scored 335 points in the Departmental competition near Switzerland. This was the highest number of points that they have seen for Krista's age group. After her individual routine she was called onto the carpet for the presentation of the award. YAY for Krista!
We also received news that she will be competing in a very high level next year (DF2) in a duo routine. This is the Federal Division (as opposed to the Criterium Division). To my surprise she will also be competing in an individual routine as well! There were 3 other girls selected from their team to compete individually. Usually at this point in rhythmic gymnastics they move to group routines only. I was pleased to hear her "group" would be a duo also! She will have a lot more to do for next year...preparing for both the duo and individual. I'm sure she'll be training a minimum of 3x a week. We have decided to stop tap dance next year, but keep going with ballet, since it really compliments gymnastics. Krista also is SO anxious to take drawing lessons next year too, so we will see how that can fit into our schedule.
The presentation of the award by her club!! What a great surprise for Krista!
