Youth Nationals

 Nationals

The 2011 Youth National Competition was held at Stone Summit in Atlanta Georgia.  It was a four day competiton starting on the 7th of July and ending on the 10th, sport qualifiers were held on the the first two days in flash format then followed by semis and finals.  I competed in both sport and speed.  I sent qualifier one without any trouble where as the second qualifier was a little tougher with some hard roof moves to the face above the long roof.  I fell within moves from the top.  Semifinals was a blast to climb on, I scored high point for my category placing me in first going into finals. After the finals route preview, I was super pysched to get on the route.  However, in the middle of the climb there was an awkard face dyno to two slopers, unfortuonatley I totally missed this during preview and did not want to risk falling of a dyno in finals so I chilled in the same spot for 6 minutes (thank god we had unlimited time as I was on the route for 12 minutes haha) untill i finally manned up for the not so bad move.  I then speedily climbed the rest of the way as to not be on the wall any longer than I already had been.  I ended up placing a solid 2nd place in my last youth Nationals and 4th in speed with a time of 6.07.  I will now represent the US over in the youth World Championships held in Imst Austria in August.
