Arrival Time at Davidson: 3:00 (bus time is 3:15)

Where: Olentangy High School

Competition Start Time: 6:00 pm

We will be competing 6 gymnasts per event (this may end up being up to 9!)

Although this is an “Invitational” I don’t believe that there will be more than 8 teams- so it will run much more quickly than we are used to for an invitational (Both the Hilliard Invitational and the McGee has 16 teams)

Where: Dublin JEROME High School

8300 Hyland-Croy Rd. Dublin, OH 43016 (this is a change from previous years)

Bus Report Time: 8:00 am

Competition Begins: 10:00 am

This meet will be like the Hilliard Invitational- 4 flights of teams that rotate between the warmup gym and competition gym.

We are able to compete 6 gymnasts per event, per team.

Friday Night:

Practice: 4:00-7:00 at Davidson

Team Meal to follow Practice at Davidson. The gymnasts will then make Spirit Posters for the other teams while we wait for the Basketball game to finish.

We will then set up the equipment in the main gym after the Basketball game.  The more hands we have there- the faster we all go home!!

Parents can arrive around 9:00- the game usually does not end before that.

Saturday Meet:

Gymnasts need to arrive at Davidson by 7:00 am

This is an invitational- so there will be 6 competitors per event per team. However, as this is our Invitational, I can put up more “teams” . This means that all gymnasts will compete on at least one event at the Invitational!!

The meet is broken into 4 flights of 4 teams.  So the teams will go:

Warmup- Compete- Bye- Bye

I will have the Flights listed at the Meet so you can have an idea of when your gymnast will compete!

Friday- Team Competition (Bradley Team Competing-1st time ever!)

1:15-registration

2:15- Coaches Meeting

3:00 Parade of Competitors/March In

3:10-1st group Warm up Begins

3:30-Competition begins for 1st group

**From what I can tell so far- it looks as if Bradley will be in the 2nd group. So- if this is the case- they would be warming up at 3:30 and then competing between 3:50-4:00. 

Saturday- Individual Competition (Davidson- Nikia (Bars), Darby- Chloe (Floor), Bradley-Greta (Bars, Beam, Floor, AA – which means she will compete on all 4 Events to get All-Around Score)

10:00- Registration

11:00- Coaches Meeting

11:30- Parade of Competitors/March In

11:40- First group Warms Up

12:00- 1st Group begins Competition

**From what I can tell- Looks like we will be in the 2nd Group- starting on Balance Beam.

This would mean that Greta would be the first to start competing and that would be around 12:20.

Nikia– if this rotation is correct- Bars would our LAST event- Which would be sometime after 2:15 I would guess.

Chloe– She would probably be competing on Floor around 1:00 or so.

These are probably the best estimates that I will be able to give- hope this is helpful!

We will have a more complete role in the management of the State Meet this week.  This increased role will also allow us to raise more money for our Teams!
