trial. On Friday, she got a triple Q, placing 4th in Master FAST, Master Standard and Master

Jumpers With Weaves and getting 5 points in Time 2 Beat, Saturday she Q'd in Master Standard

and got 9 points in Time 2 Beat, and on Sunday she got QQ #28, placing 2nd in Master Standard,

and placed 1st in Time 2 Beat. All this means is that she needs 43 points for her MACH, 2 triple Q's

for her TQX and 3Q's and 10 points in Time 2 Beat for her T2B3. That is my little Wonder Girl!
