JamFest Super Nationals - Indianapolis

The BIGGEST Competition of the year - JAMFEST SuperNationals!!!
This was a real travel event! The gym chartered two buses and the teams
departed at 5:00 am Friday, January 14th headed for Indianapolis, Indiana
for the weekend.  They arrived in Indianapolis around 3:30 pm and immediatly
checked into their rooms and prepared for team dinners in downtown Indianapolis
and then they were off to the Indianapolis Convention Center for practices that evening.
 
Saturday morning they had breakfast at the Hotel and then off to the
Convention Center again along with about 475 other teams to compete
in the first day of competition.  Intensity had a little tumbling trouble on the
first day and had to come together to gain some ground on
their competition the second day of performances.
They left the Hotel a little earlier on Sunday morning to make a few changes
to their routine for the second day.  It paid off and they had a wonderful
performance and were able to gain some points on the rest of the teams
and raised their standings into the top 10.
After totalling scores for the weekend, they placed 10th in their
division.  Pretty impressive for a National Event where there were
about 500 teams competing from all over the country and Canada.
Keep it up girls - we are so proud of you!!!
