I have a strained muscle in my calf which causes shin splints. It hurt just a little bit. I just had to blow it off and do my other vault. That's all I could really do.

I was a little disappointed on beam that I missed my back tuck. I still actually got a really good score (9.225), especially with a fall. Some girls were actually asking me if I meant to do that.

She had an amazing beam routine. She was really deserving.

Obviously, I like the sport way too much to stop.

I just want to do as well as I can. I'm excited to go.

I want to improve on some of my skills and add new skills.

I'm feeling a lot more confident now then I did last year and having way more fun. I'm hoping to work hard this week and then to be very consistent (at sectionals). If I can do that, then I hope that I'll be going (to state) again.

I'm really excited. I didn't know how well I'd do here with all the good gymnasts performing. I just wanted to hit my routines, and I did that.

This is the most exciting time ever. I knew I needed a 9.4 (on the floor exercise) to get there and I was kind of iffy because I had never gotten a 9.4 before on floor. Once I heard the score, I was so excited.
