Jr Olympics - New Orleans

Just wanted to say Congrats to Kenz on her fabulous first time at the AAU Junior Olympics over the past week. After surprising the kids with a limo ride from the hotel, I think Eric had as much fun playing with buttons as they did. It was on to a busy week of competition. Here are her results: 5th overall in floor out of 10, 14th overall in double mini and out of 20 and 11th overall in tramp (after placing 2nd in flight) out of 26. Her words after double-min "at least I didn't get last". She also received a plaque for Iowa finishing 2nd in Tramp. Not bad for having to compete agains at least 3 AAU National team members. Her coach Joyce surprised us all with the news that she wants to move Kenzie and Jenny up to Sub-Advance on tramp so they can do synchronized tramp. How cool is that! There are photos below:
