Sacramento State Gymnastics

So I got to cover the Western Athletic Conference Championships for gymnastics last week. This is the conference Sacramento State is in. When I noticed Sacramento was going to host the championships I jumped right on broad to photograph the event.

I covered the gymnastics beat when I was on the Sac State paper and I used to compete in gymnastics when I was little so gymnastics has always been close to my heart. I love to watch it and photograph the sport.

Here are some of my best photos or just ones I liked from the night.

Here are the two-time WAC Champions Boise State.



Just one of the gymnasts from Boise State.



Another Boise gal on the floor. These are some of the most fun to watch b/c the girls know how to have fun.



I also love how all the teams wear these fake tattoos on their faces for the meets.



I just loved the determination in her eyes. This was on the beam (as was the girl in the blue above).

Here are the Sac State photos. These are the girls cheering on Alycia Chan on floor.

This is Lissa Z. She's a junior on the team. I just wanted to show how flexible one must be in this sport.

I love Eryn. She is so smiley, and nice. She is a ton of fun to watch. And when her team is cheering her on she really gets into the dancing on the floor.

Again Eryn. After she competed on the beam. She was placed on the Second-Team All-Conference for this event. And she was so happy when she was heading back to her team. I just thought this was the cutest photo.

Eryn: When she was looking to her team after winning the award for second place in the all-around (meaning she competed in all four events and scored the second highest score).

Sports have always been one of the things I feel I can photograph the best. Let me know what y'all think.
