Eagan gymnast Julia Wolter doesn't even remember her first couple of high school meets.
"Oh, gosh, I was all nerves," she said.
The senior has since learned to calm down and enjoy the moment, but Tuesday's meet at Bloomington Jefferson brought back some familiar feelings. It wasn't so much because of the first meet of the season, but the "last first meet."
Wolter finished ninth in the Class 2A all-around at last February's state meet, including a fifth-place showing on the balance beam.
She is increasing the difficulty in all her events.
"I've been amping it up, especially because it is my senior year and I kind of want to end with a bang," Wolter said.
Part of that will come from a new floor routine. It's her favorite event because of the music and creativity. Along with coach Shelly Eklund, they decided to change the act, which had been the same for the past few years.
The new tune is a dramatic one, "Requiem for a Dream," a noticeable change from her previous medley from the musical "Chicago." It will showcase both her tumbling power and dance style.
