WoW!  We were all excited to arrive at our hotel for a shower and change of clothes after bonding for 15+ hours on the van ride from Savannah to Detriot on our Jr. Olympic journey.

Everyone stretched out, did their grocery shopping for the next four days and is enjoying the R&R before competition begins tomorrow.

We will keep you updated on everyone's lifts and upload pictures each day after the competition.  You are also welcome to send words of encouragement to our athletes at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
