la gymnastique

So here's "Coey" (LiLi's pronunciation) in her home away from home. Any given week for the past year and the upcoming one, she trains 6-10 hours at the gym on floor, vault, beam and bars. These shots were taken this past April at her last meet of the competitive year: the spring state championship.

C and teammates await the floor competition...




Working the bars...with Coach Marci looking on




The handstand dismount to finish her beam routine...




Concentrating on the floor routine while waiting for her turn...




Last minute pep talk from Coach Marci before taking the floor...




The stretch before a backward straight arm roll...




Poised to begin her round-off, back handspring tumbling pass...




Celebrating with Nadine after finishing 7th in two events...


I think gymnastics is good for Chloe. The perks? Discipline, strength, a gym "family" and goals to accomplish something worthwhile. Stay tuned for more highlights when this year's meets begin next month.
