Hello everyone,

Welcome to week 7 & 8 and the start of winter break! It's crazy to me that at the end of break we will be finishing our 2nd month of season! Wow!

Week 6 Recap:

At Middleton, every single gymnast on the team competed at least one event! We also had a full JVA and Varsity line up across all events! Our competitors did great for our first dual and we earned a Varsity team score of 124.8 and a JV A team score of 102.55. To have our JV A scoring above a 100 is fantastic and shows how much everyone's hard work is paying off.

The coaches and I want to also give a special congratulations to all our competitors who competed for the first time of their high school careers. All the coaches were so proud of everyone on the team and we hope everyone takes the time to give themselves a pat on the back and feel proud of themselves.

In total, our athletes earned 2 No Fall Stars on beam and 17 Sticky Feets for stuck landings! A special shout out to Claire AND Timmia who both stuck both of their vaults - meaning they EACH accounted for 11.7% of the Sticky Feet earned.

Achieve Practice Sign Ups IMPORTANT

If you are not signed up for the practices through their system, they will not let your athlete work out. To sign up for Achieve practices, please sign up for the highschool open gym.

Kalahari:

I sent a previous email with details about the Kalahari day trip. Please refer to that email for details about timing and payment.

Below is a link to our attendance tracker for the trip. Please check the table and ensure you have RSVP-ed and sent payment along. If you are able to help with driving, please let me know.

Spaghetti Dinner Sign Up: FINAL CALL!

We have 2 spaghetti dinner spots still available to sign up for. If you are able to host or want to pair up with a parent to host, please sign up. If you want to reach out to other parents, I have attached the team contact list below. If we can't get these spots filled, we will go out for a team dinner instead.

A reminder that spaghetti dinners are dinners that are hosted by a family on the Monday of the week we have a dual meet. Dinner does not have to consist of just spaghetti. After practice ends on Monday, kiddos will head over for dinner, likely arriving around 7:20 PM. If you would like to host, the link is below:
