Kallee after all did make it to Regionals in Mississippi!!!!! She did awesome!!!!!
Regional Scores for Kallee AA: 36.075 (9th Place), Vault 9.050 (8th place AA), Bars 8.775, Beam 8.950 (8th place AA), Floor 9.300 (9th place AA). She came home earning 4 medals at REGIONALS!
To make it to Regionals you have to place 16th place or better at STATE! Kallee was in 8th place AA with one event to go....she fell on bars. Not only did she get counted with a fall but did not get counted for her skill so it knocked her to 17th place. But Kallee held her head high and was ready to prepare for next year. So for the next 3 weeks Kallee was beginning to work on level 9 skills. Well on Monday I was driving Kallee to practice when the gym called me and asked if Kallee wanted to go to Regionals???? I said what do you mean???? They said Murphey from our gym has scratched and Kallee is next in line. I asked Kallee and she didn't believe me. But after while she said of course! So with only 4 days to practice her level 8 skills that she hasn't practiced for over 3 weeks she hit it hard at the gym.
I have never seen her work so hard. She came home so fatigue and just exhausted but her will power was so strong. She knew all the other girls have had 3 extra weeks to not only prepare physical but also mentally. She had to give it all she had. As a mother, I was so proud of her.
All her hard work paid off. She did wonderful coming in last place and then placing 9th AA. You are so amazing Kallee. As a family we will never ever forget this amazing experience we shared with you. You taught us so much. As a parent I thought I would have to teach you how to over come your disappointments but you taught me to never give up. Even when you don't make it there is always sunshine after the rain. Because of your wonderful attitude and will power the doors to Regionals was opened for you. You did it! Thanks for teaching me!
Kallee your brothers are always cheering you on because they love you so much!
