Alyssa action at Regionals

The Intermediate NH Team marches in for Level 8 Regionals.


Competitors throughout the year, the NH 8s were quick to get their team spirit going.


Alyssa's fine Vault and medal-winning Bars routine.


Beam and Floor (I know, that's pretty obvious) :-)

Alyssa Shines at States

March in smiles. Vault action


Gold medal Bars and Silver medal Beam routines


Alyssa's 2nd place in the All-Around ensured her a spot on the NH Team going to Regionals.

Team mates clap along with Courtney's music. Jess's good Beam & Kayla's 9.20 Vault


Allison is as high as her score (9.55). A moment in Hillary's 9.25 Floor routine.


Melinda's great Bars. LaNaya's starting pose on Floor.


While waiting for awards, shopping for Leos, picking up free slippers


And if going through an entire meet isn't enough exercise, there's yoga stretches.

Suspicious Smiles

The Level 7 team girls are smiling suspciously because some of them (identities withheld) whispered something to the lady with the microphone. When Alyssa's name was read off for awards, the lady announced to everyone that it was Alyssa's birthday! Sneaky team mates. How embarrassing! :-)

Alyssa's Birthday Surprise

And the parents were no better. At the restaurant, they arranged a cake with candle to be brought out, then all the parents sang Alyssa "Happy Birthday." Does she look embarrassed?
