IWU Invitational Day 1

Opted to not go for round one so we can take Trenton and Ryan with us tomorrow. We watched live online and here are the results…

Mount Vernon Nazarene University Competition

First place for the second year in a row at this comp, but MVNU pulled out first place the second round. Shared the love for sure. 

We are just glad we got to be there in person this year to see Bethel win!

Scores first round

MVNU 62.25

Point Park 67.45

Bethel 69.25

Scores second round 

Point Park 59.85

Bethel 63.85

MVNU 66.1

Bethel vs Marian

Bethel came back after falling behind by 17+ points to tie the game with 7 seconds left. Unfortunately a bad foul was called on Bethel and we lost by 2 points at the end. 

Marian Competition

Bethel went to its first competition tonight at Marian University. Took a hit right off the bat with one good tumbler and flyer out with Covid and with Journei being hurt he wasn’t able to tumble. Gabi was basically the only tumbler during the whole routine. We knew we would score lower this time but we did what we could. Gabi’s stunt fell. She worked hard to save it the first time making the timing off and her stunt came all the way down the second time. But, I was very proud that her face didn’t show it. She can struggle with that for sure, but she overcame this time. We were a bit surprised that Brescia got the score they did since they only had 5 members. The judges were supposed to deduct 5 points for not having a full team but when asked at the end how they got a better score than Bethel - “we didn’t think about that.”  Soooo in all honesty these scores are not accurate in my opinion and just show the team we have to work harder and stronger.
