In
the blink of an eye, the winter cheer season has come to a close. This season
was a little different than those in the past. There were two different squads,
the white team, which was the competition team, and the blue team, which only
came to basketball games. The white team consisted of 20 girls, 15 of which
were on the mat at competitions.
These girls traveled to three major
competitions this season: FCIACs, BEST, and States. At FCIACs the team placed
in the top 10 and at BEST they placed top 5. States brought the most
challenging competition the team had seen this season but they managed to hold
their own and did extremely well. “Overall, I don’t think our winter season
could have gone any better. The whole team pushed themselves to their full
potential,” said junior Julia Westerman. “We’ve really improved in our stunting
and tumbling abilities. We were able to have 7 girls throwing tumbling in the
routine.”
When asked what next year had in
store, Westerman said, “I’m so exicited to continue on with cheer for my senior
year. I can only hope to be as good of a leader as my seniors were this year
and I can’t wait to improve even further.”
This group of girls has grown
immensely over the past two years in size and in skill level and it will be
exciting to see how they continue next season. Congratulations on such a
successful winter season, Ladies!
