Tim Weaver Battlefield Invitational

Grace's second meet of the season was the Tim Weaver Battlefield Invitational in York PA.  Reporting time for Excel Gold was 7:00am, almost 2 hours from home, so this was the first meet where Grace and I drove out to York the evening before and stayed in a hotel near the venue. Amp and Julia stayed home since this weekend was the fall musical (Legally Blonde) at the high school, and they were both busy with four shows (1 Thursday, 1 Friday and 2 on Saturday).

Walk in for warm ups

This was a much larger meet than the West Chester meet a couple of weeks ago, and the competition was much stiffer. Grace still did very well, placing 4th in floor (with a personal best of 9.325).
