Columbia City started off with our level 6 Sam Sleight. This became her highest scoring competition so far this season. She received 2^nd AA, 1^st on Vault, 2^nd on Bars and 3^rd on floor. Annie Murray and Olivia Lee competed second. They both were battling sickness the week before but were still able to execute their full routines in Arizona. This was Livvy’s first competition participating in all events and qualified to state. Eleanor Hindmarsh and Violet Faull competed next, representing our level 3 team. They both improved over 2.0 points in their all-around from the last meet. Eleanor earned 1^st on floor. The level 5s ended our first day of competition with positive attitudes from everyone. Kaelee Wong eared 2^nd AA, 2^nd on vault, 1^st on bars, and 2^nd on floor. Addie McLaughlin earned 3^rd on floor and Lily Peterman earned 2^nd on bars.

Shima True, our only level 8 competed on Saturday, she was also battling sickness the week before. Her and Jazzy from Ballard were able to compete together to represent SGA.

The level 4s competed last on Sunday. They all improved so much on vault from the last competition and were happy to stand on the podium for individual events. Lauren Supnet earned 2^nd on vault, 1^st on beam and 2^nd on floor. Maggie Huey earned 3^rd AA, 3^rd on vault, 1^st on beam and 2^nd on floor. Sydney Klein rocked her vault and earned 1^st in her age division for the first time this season.

The SGA Ballard Level 3-8 Girls Team traveled to Phoenix, AZ to compete in the Classic Rock Invitational, January 9-11^th. Arizona always presents some tougher competition, but the girls handled the pressure fantastically! There were many successes and victories across the team, through all levels. Highlights of the meet included- the whole Level 6 team winning all-around titles for their age groups, and the Level 4 Team winning first place! The trophy being a real electric guitar! The second electric guitar SGA can add to our collection from that meet. After the competition, the girls had a blast playing in the pool and hanging out in the sunny 80-degree weather. The SGA team always has a fun time in Arizona!
