Platinum Gymnast scores a perfect 10!

Lakin “ Macy” Cowan, 6, wowed the crowd, including her mom, at the last district qualifier competition when the scoreboard went up with her name on it and the score:  10.0!!  The perfect score was achieved on her fourth event of the day- vault.  The meet was held in San Antonio on September 27, 2008 and included gymnasts from our district (Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and Austin gyms).  Macy had the highest Vault, Balance beam, Floor and All-around score in the meet.

The first grader had a rigorous training schedule this past summer,  (15 hours a week)  training and testing physical abilities such as rope climb, handstand holding, and sprinting for TOPs( talent opportunity program), as well as getting ready for her competition season which began this September.  Macy has had an incredible season so far; She has consistently won balance beam, floor and All- Around at her first several meets.    She has an amazing attitude in the gym and at competition-- very mature for her age.   Macy actually won the “Shirley Temple” Award this summer at the PGA Awards Banquet for her encouraging, inspiring attitude toward her teammates in the gym and in competition.
