In preparation, each member of their team got a new workout leo. Alyssa's had her eye on one of these since we first came to the gym a year ago. It's tradition--even a right of passage--for regional qualifiers to be given a new AGC workout leo. She wore it proudly on the last day of training before this, her last competition of the season.
Auburn Gymnastics Center Level 8 Team:
L to Rt: Clare, Gabby, Emma, Maison, Beth, Ali, Alyssa, Kati, Maddi, Trinity and Karlei
We love these girls. They are crazy talented. They work hard but they know how to have fun, too. They are the best of friends and wonderfully supportive of one another. There's a special sense of belonging that comes from being a part of this cohesive team that we had not previously experienced in Alyssa's gymnastics career. How blessed we feel to have been a part of it this season!
Alyssa had quite the fan club at her meet. Both sets of grandparents, Chad, Amy, Maureen and Sarah all joined our family in cheering her on. And she did not disappoint. (I just regret not getting a picture of the fan club. Many of them even sported team shirts to show their support.)
This amazing floor routine earned her a 9.625 which was good enough for 2nd place:
Region 2 comprises gymnasts from Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho and Montana. Alyssa's age group had 31 girls in it.
She was ninth on bars and beam and her 37.125 all-around score landed her in 5th place.
It's a relief to have such a successful and memorable season at our new gym under her belt. Lys has been very happy. She loves this sport and is extremely excited to dive right into training level 9 skills.
Way to go, Alyssa! We're so proud of you.

What a great floor routine! No wonder she placed so high. She looks amazing! Congrats to all of you. I know she needs a lot of support to make it as far as she has and you and Jon are certainly great at that.
So bittersweet...another wonderful event we missed out on. Congrats Alyssa! You're amazing!
Yay Alyssa! She did such a great job! Congrats to a great season!
I'm a fan of ACG, and a bigger fan of Alyssa. That routine was so polished, so clean, and so beautiful. I love watching Jill's face during the routine. From the minute Lys steps on the floor, she's thrilled with her every move. Great season Lys!!!
Way to go Lys!!! We were so excited nd happy to be there supporting you!
