Saturday: (All-Day)
Sunday: (All-Day)
This is the week that everyone was waiting for all season. This is what the team was working for and now it is finally here.
The week started with last mintue preparations on Monday...mostly packing.
Last year, I overpacked but I will not make that mistake again.
On Tuesday, had the earliest wake-up call ever when we decided to leave OKC at 7:00. that means we all had to meet at the gym at 4:45. It was bad.
The flight was good and coming into Newark, N.J. we could see downtown NYC. It was awesome.
The first day of competition was Thursday and the days leading up to that was just perparation with the website. I was bloging about the whole experience on SoonerSports.com. It was difficult at first but I think I got the hang of it after a while. Next year, it will be better. I noticed I wasn't rushing everything like last year. I could stop and enjoy the moment for a second but only for a second because if you take too long someone is there to kick you in the head and say NO.
The championship was at the United State Military Academy at West Point and that was really cool. We got some time to go around and see all the cool stuff there.
We came in third in the team competition but claimed two Individual National titles on the third night and evryone seemed happy about that.
The local media back home picked up evrything well but it some of the small stuff was not the way I would have liked it. (You live and you learn, I guess)
Next year I will be better.

Preparing for Championships: Blog for the week of April 5-9

This was a busy week. This is the one time of year that I don't like but excited for the next week.
I started preparing for the NCAA National Championships this week and it requires a lot of preparation before we leave.
The main preparation is making a post-season guide with all the updated statistics and results. It is a lot of work in a sort time period.
I also have to send in a lot of roster information to be place in the program.
After finishing everything I send it to the host site which this year is the United States Military Academy in West Point.
It will be an awesome trip and I am looking forward to it. The only downfall is the length of time on the trip. It will be for a whole week and we leave at 4:45 in the morning. That is bad.
I guess it was the only flight that we could find direct to Newark, N.J.
Next week, I will blog about the experience at West Point.

Well the big week is here and it is not fun. This is the first time in my career at OU that I have not had fun. With everything that went on this week I was very glad that anything didn't fall through the cracks.
This is also a big week for the Communications and Marketing offices, because this is our chance to host a big gymnastics event and try a get a lot of people there.
The week of the event I created a autograph sheets for Bart Conner adn Jonathan Horton to sign. This was big having them here because they are Olympic medal winners and the faces of USA gymnastics right now.
I was also put in charge of making flyers for the event to pass our the Norman community and the campus. This was a pain in the neck. I am not supposed to be doing this but I did anyway, which made my life a more living hell.
Not only was I making these but also organizing five teams in the score system and making release and notes. Cordinating media was also a big concern for the event. We got two tv spots and multiple newspaper hits.
It was a very busy week!!
The other side is that WE WON!! This is our 10th MPSF conference championship in 12th years
and our 18th overall.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
See you next week for the preparation for the National Championship.
