Tis The Season

The 2010-2011 cheerleading competition has begun. Today my squad competed in our very first competition of the year. We hosted this competition and pulled out a first place in the small varsity division and an award for best dance. We dedicated our performance to Averie. Averie, a sister of one of my teammates, passed away last week at the age of one; she had had a terminal illness since birth. We went out on the floor as a team and gave it our all. We tried our best and the crowd gasped in "awe" when I did a front flip dismount out of our pyramid. We started off on the right foot and now next week we'll travel to our next competition. We'll be fixing up a few things and working on tumbling this week at practice; hoping to make next weeks performance even better than today's.
