The freshman Cheerleading squad is preparing to take first in their upcoming competition. On Jan. 10 they will be competing in an area-wide National Cheerleading Association competition to be held at The Family Arena. The team earned first place at State Regionals on Aug. 4 and they hope to continue their success.
“They know what to expect now,” freshman Cheerleading coach Lindsay Brinkley said. “They’ve also been working really hard, and do [well] under pressure.”
The team has been focused on improving on their tumbles and stunts. According to Brinkley, they have gotten
to this point because of hard work, dedication and team effort.
“We practice three days a week and we are always working on improving our routines,” freshman cheerleader
Colleen McCurry said.
The girls are looking forward to showing off their improvement. Freshman cheerleader Allie Medlin believes the team is beginning to be able to work together to achieve success.
“Our back-hand springs have improved and we have a lot more advanced stunting and we are starting to work more as a team,” Medlin said.
