I am going to combine a few topics in this post since it has been so long since I have posted an entry. I wanted to give an update on Olivia's progress in TnT and Artistic Gymnastics.
Jump Start
Olivia made this year’s JumpStart National Team for the second year in a row. Final Selection was held in Tulsa, OK, in January. She was one of 21 girls selected from across the nation. She was selected for both Trampoline and Tumbling. In February she attended the JumpStart National Team Training Camp in Huntsville, AL. JumpStart is a program sponsored by USA Gymnastics in order to identify future elite athletes ages 7 to 12. The athletes are evaluated on strength, flexibility and skills. She just completed state testing for what could be her 3rd year of JumpStart. CA was the first state to complete their testing, so once the rest of the nation completes testing and uploads their scores, the top athletes will then be chosen to compete at the National level for a spot on the 2010 team. We'll keep you posted.
