Back on top of the 2012 all-around amateur standings is Kaleena Weakly and Hours Yours And Mine. In 2011, the duo set their sights on the award and hauled to earn it. In 2012, they reaped the reward of the previous year’s hard work and solid foundation and found themselves back on top in the standings.
“To be 100 percent honest, we had no intention of hauling for the all-around this year,” Kaleena says. “The year before when we did it, she was so green, and we were still teaching her a lot.
“This year, she was a lot more seasoned,” Kaleena adds. “We went out, and we did really well. We didn’t go to as many shows. We went to larger shows, and we did well. The points just piled up so at the end of the year, we were able to sit home and not go to shows like we had to before when we were chasing points.”
