Soy's 1st gymnastics competition

On Feb. 12th Sawyer had his first gymnastic competition. It was at the Shelly High School in Shelly. Grandma Sheila came with us. I think Sawyer was a bit nervous. He is considered pre-team so he didn't have the warm up outfit. Other than that he was on the team. There were 8-9 boys in his division. They did the pommel (sp???) horse and mushroom, floor, bars, rings and 2 others I don't know the names of. One is when they run and jump off the little springy thing and the other is the 2 bars around a foot apart. He did so awesome!!! It was so neat to watch him. His best event was the rings. To watch him hang there was crazy. He just doesn't have enough meat on his bones so I was really shocked at how he could hold himself up. He took
6th place in one event and then 2nd and 3rd in everything else. He also got 3rd overall and his whole team took 2nd over all. The only bad this is it took forever!!! I never thought it was going to end! It started at 5:30 and after almost 2 hours they had only done 2 events and had 4 more to go! We got home around 12:30 a.m. It was worth it though to watch him do so well. He was great. There is another competition this coming weekend (March 13th) in Rexburg at the Gymnastics Center. I will post what time if anyone wants to come. He would love it!
