Vault Into Spring 2017

I was surprised, really.  This was her first competition at Copper.  A year ago she was still at walk!  What is Copper? This means a vaulter can do both full 1 star compulsories and freestyle at canter.  The level below Copper, the vaulter does an easier version of compulsories at canter and freestyle at walk.  There were 21 girls competing at this level and many of them have been vaulting for years. 

This is her compulsories (final score 6.013, first place out of 21 girls):

And her Freestyle (final score 6.467, third place):

Genevieve's final score was 6.240 and she took home the Copper Woman Champion prize.

She and three other teammates participated in a Two Phase Team.  This is when all four are judged on compulsories going around the circle the opposite direction with a few different moves in a different order.  I didn't record the whole team because Jason was a slight problem:

And Two Phase Freestyle:

There was only one Two Phase Team so they brought home all the first place ribbons. 

I usually take a snapshot of Genna's scores after they have been posted so I can look them over later.  This is the first time I've seen her sit down with her scores and the scores of her closest competitors and compare their strengths and weaknesses.  Her only goal since the last competition (when she was disqualified) was to beat this one girl that is really good.  And she did. So, goal met.  I'm looking forward to seeing what her next goal will be!
