Regionals 2017

Genevieve scored very well at regionals this year.  She competed with 26 other girls in her level.

She had two team events: compulsories and barrel freestyle.  The team placed first in compulsories and second in freestyle and second place overall. The fairgrounds scheduled a heavy metal music festival at the EXACT SAME TIME as the vaulting competition. The "music" definitely interfered with the competition.

Team Compulsories (Genna is the last to go):
Team Barrel (heavy metal and f-bomb starts again around the two minute mark):

The Shannon Class is a just for fun event named after a vaulter that got sick with meningitis and died.  The music is randomly assigned and the vaulter has a few hours to come up with a good routine.  Everyone walks so everyone can compete together.

In Copper Individuals she scored third place for compulsories and FIRST PLACE for freestyle.  This mama had a few tears over THAT.  She has one team mate that is incredibly talented in freestyle that is very hard to beat.  But the team mate had a little slip, just enough to lose enough points for Genna to win by 0.03 points.  Genna came in second place overall in her group of 26.  She lost to her friend by 0.008 points.  A sliver.
