Casey Ellis (Buellton): (Class 6, ages 10+ experienced)

Floor: 6.10 (44th)
Pommel Horse: 7.50 (39th)
Rings: 8.10 (42nd)
Vault: 8.60 (27th)
Parallel Bars: 8.80 (28th) *Personal Best*
High Bar: 7.00 (46th)
All-Around: 46.10 (41st)

Casey got sick the day of the competition, but still managed to stay competitve, even scoring a personal best on parallel bars with an 8.80. Although he did not place on any of the events, he still showed a lot of courage, and didn't quit even though he was having a lot of difficulty out there.

Ethan Davis (Santa Barbara): (Class 6: ages 10+ Novice)

Floor: 8.20 (7th) *Personal Best*
Pommel Horse: 6.90 (7th) *Personal Best*
Rings: 8.45 (7th) *Personal Best*
Vault: 8.75 (18th)
Parallel Bars: 7.65 (12th)
High Bar: 7.50 (20th) *Personal Best*
All-Around: 47.45 (8th) *Personal Best*

Ethan continues to impress me with his dedication and drive to improve himself, setting 5 Personal best scores and finishing 8th in the all-around out of 26 total 1st year competitors. Ironically, Ethan fell on his best event, vault, otherwise he would have broken the 48.00 barrier (8.0 average). Keep up the good work!


Jordan Disraeli (Santa Barbara): (Class 5, ages 8-9)

Floor: 7.40 (15th) *Personal Best*
Pommel Horse: 6.45 (16th)
Rings: 8.80 (9th) *Personal Best* *Ties Class 5 Team Record*
Vault: 9.00 (10th) *Personal Best*
Parallel Bars: 7.70 (13th)
High Bar: 7.70 (13th)
All-Around: 47.05 (16th) *Personal Best*

Jordan had a great meet overall, setting 4 personal bests as well as tying our Class 5 team record on rings with an 8.80. He continues to improve on all events, and I know he has the drive and goal of outdoing himself every time he competes.
