State Meet 3/28/2010

Hi Everyone-

Just to let you know that this Sunday is Daryn's last meet in Minnesota for the year. He will be competing at the U of M in the state meet. He is very excited and would love all the support he can get. So if you're not doing anything on Sunday at 11am we'd love to see you there.

On April 11, 2010, Daryn will be competing in Grand Forks, ND for the region 4 competition. Please wish him luck as this will be the last meet on the season.

I will continue to update his progress with the new things that he will be learning.

One more thing, Daryn is doing a flower sale fundraiser to help with the cost of gymnastics. He is selling 7 flowers/plants for $20. They are annuals and would look great in a flower basket or in your flower garden. The sale goes through April 13 and they will be delivered the Friday before Mother's Day. If you are interested in seeing what is available please email or call me and I can get you an order form. There are several plants to choose from. Thanks again for all your support.

MIGS meet at the U of M- 3/13/2010

Daryn had kind of a rollar coaster day. He got 2 of his highest scores ever, but also got a few of his lowest.

He brought home 5 ribbons today- on rings he scored a 15.3 (his highest score ever)-3rd place, vault he scored a 15.2 (his second highest score ever)-3rd place, parallel bars he scored a 14.6-4th place, high bar he scored a 14.7-4th place, and his all around score was an 86.8 and he place 4th. His score on floor was a 13.3 and his score on pommel horse was a 13.5.

He is very optimistic though. He says that he's glad that he got a bad meet out of the way before the state meet. What a kid-he always can see the bright side of things.
