Alex

 

He had a tough year in gymnastics.  His wrists were hurting enough they needed treatment.  Six weeks in casts.

 

 

When the casts came off, he couldn’t do any exercises for another six weeks.  Then he couldn’t do any high impact or high torque moves after that.  All he could do was go to gym every day and watch and do conditioning.

 

So he didn’t compete at all the first half of the season.  Then he only competed on three out of the six events for the second half.  Then came the State Competition.  He did all six events for the first time this year, and advanced to Regionals in Long Beach.  He competed at Regionals and advanced to Nationals in Reno.  He did the first round of all six events on Thursday at Nationals, but didn’t advance in All-around.  He did advance in Floor though, and will compete again, just on Floor, on Sunday.

 

Go Alex!
