I'm thrilled that I made it because I knew it was going to be really close. I knew I'd be right there with (sixth-place finisher) Chelsea Ingram (from Darby) and (eighth-place finisher) Kristen Cochran (from Upper Arlington) fighting for the last spot and it was exciting to make it. My bar routine was the best I've done all season.

I had a good floor routine. It was not my best score, but they were judging harder. It was one of my highest vault scores all year. Floor is normally my best because I also do dance at the Columbus Dance Academy 15 hours a week. I just have to keep working on perfecting everything this week. I know I can do better than I did at district in pretty much every event.
