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!
