Let me just say that a 9.725 is a REALLY good score in high school gymnastics. Varsity had their conference meet tonight. A girl on our varsity team had a really good vault (which basically means she didn't fall on her face) and scored a 9.725. Now, if only she can get that when she gets to state, she may place...(and she will get to state).

The judge who I was sitting next to, on the other hand...was not working so well. She didn't realize there were still gymnasts competing, and missed this girl's entire bar routine! I don't know how she even managed to do that...but she did. Luckily, because it was a special meet, there were two judges. The other judge (the head judge) saw the entire routine and gave it a score. They also gave the girl the option to do her routine over again. She took that option and received some pity tenths of points.
