She placed 1st in the vault, her favorite event, but this was still a very pleasant surprise. She definitely had a set back in vault (and everything) after spending 5 weeks in a boot during December and January (stress fracture of the 4th metatarsal). Plus two weeks hurt leading up to the boot and a month or so of getting back into shape. All the strength training in the world doesn't make up for not being able to be practicing your skills and routines on the equipment.

More important, for me anyway, is the sense of team, and the fact that Grace is a part of something bigger than just herself.

It's always nice to bring home a big trophy. Lots of medals for Roth's Crosspoint Gymnastics.
All that's left for the 2018 spring season is States, in Pittsburgh in early May. Grace has qualified and we will be going!
