7-28-06:  Congratulations to Level 9 Jessica Leadbetter for finally accomplishing her double-back salto on the floor exercise.  "I was really excited.  I finally did it."  The emotional outburst of tears into her coach's shoulder said it all.  This high-level skill requires the athlete to complete two flips (saltos) in the air prior to landing on their feet.
