OTW girls on the road


This year's big "away" meet was the Northeast Invitational, in Hartford, Connecticut.

Pinning Numbers in Hartford


The 7s form a pin-on line to help each other get their numbers pinned on.


Level 8 and 7 girls help the 4s pin on their numbers (left and right). Leigh helps LaNaya. (center)

Floor On Fire


Selected snapshots from the Hartford meet. The OTW girls ruled the floor. Every one of them scored 9s.

Sudden Realization


The 7s all gasped at about the same time when they realized their team score put them in first.

Stampede of Sevens


After hearing "Off the Wall" called out as winning first place, the team rushes to the platform. (Note the concerned dad on the right, lifting the small gymnast out of danger.) :-)

Too Big!


LaNaya gets bonked by the wing of the eagle trophy as the 7s try to gather 'round on the winners' platform.

Winning Smiles


The smiles of the Level 7 girls couldn't have been any bigger

What's UP?


Why are the girls gasping and/or looking surprised?
Is it:
(a) Paul trying to juggle 3 watermellons?
(b) A man trying a handstand on a chair?
(c) Pirate clowns chasing the judges?
