2016 Michigan State Meet Level 9

March 23, 2016

The 2016 Michigan Level 9 State Meet showcased the incredible future of Michigan and Region 5 Gymnastics. The talent and level of gymnastics shown at this meet this weekend was unbelievable. From amazing floor choreography to high flying bar changes to the enormous amount of stuck landings. The Level 9 Sessions at State Meet were certainly ones to watch. This years Level 9 Sessions were very enjoyable, they seemed to be a bit more laid back than in the past few years, all the gymnasts and coaches seemed to be a bit more relaxed and ready to take on the floor. It was refreshing to see that is for sure.

The State Meet for some is the end of a long grueling season, but for those at the higher levels like Level 9 & 10 it is just the beginning of Championship Season, from here the girls who have earned a 34.00 All-Around or higher will automatically qualify to the Region 5 Championships, for those were did not qualify a petition may be filed to advance them to Regionals. Regionals is the time that is most important, this is the meet that determines who will be representing Region 5 at the Level 9 Eastern Nationals in Virginia Beach.

Below are the results for Level 9 Sessions 1 & 2, plus videos. Please Enjoy!

2016 Michigan Level 10 State Meet

The 2016 Level 10 State Meet this year was unlike any other I have been too, in the past I knew who was going to win each age group, but this year there was certainly a curveball thrown in. Each athlete performed to the best of their ability on that particular day, each athlete had a fire inside them that you could feel in the air. However, what I love most about the Level 10 State Meet Session is that it is a bit more laid back than you would think. Everyone is so confident, passionate, willing to help each other and always cheering for each other. These girls are all friends and are all sharing the same experiences which is very cool to witness.

This year 4 new All-Around State Champions were crowned in each age group, with some of the last years winners moving on to college, elite gymnastics, being injured or simply not having a great day allowed 4 new All-Around Champions to emerge. It is always refreshing to see the success of Michigan Gymnastics and the depth of our state and how it impacts Region 5 as a whole. State Meets around the country, for most are the end point to a long season, but for the higher levels it is just the beginning of Championship Season. The Level 10s who obtained a 34.00 or higher All-Around score qualified to Regionals and those who did not have the opportunity to petition their way to Region 5 Championships to try and qualify to the main event…..JO NATIONALS!!!!

CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON STARTS NOW!!!
