The second meet of Caitlin's 2006 gymastics season was "School Days" held last Saturday afternoon at Golden Gate Gymnastics in Concord, California.
This was Caitlin's first event at GGG, and I thought they ran a great meet! In spite of the rather small gym, there was plenty of room for spectators and gymnasts. (It may have helped that we were in the final session, since one of the earlier attendees told me that the morning and afternoon sessions had many more gymnasts.) During the late session there were about 10-15 girls per event, so the competition floor wasn't very crowded. I assume that the meet organizers would want to keep the earlier sessions maxed out. Thus the final session can run "light" and finish as quickly as possible, so the meet staff can start cleanup ASAP. Perhaps we should request the final session in the future?
Caitlin medaled in every event this weekend. She took second place on the uneven bars and fifth place on vault, beam and floor; however, between her very good score on bars and her consistent finishes in the other events, she managed to pull third place overall.
| Event | Score | Place |
|---|---|---|
| Vault | 8.100 | 5th |
| Bars | 9.225 | 2nd |
| Beam | 8.950 | 5th (tie) |
| Floor | 9.000 | 5th |
| All around | 35.275 | 3rd |
