Cheerleading!

I was in cheerleading for 8 seasons. Seventh and eighth I only had the opportunity to cheer for basketball as we didn’t have enough funding to also do so. I also cheered on the varsity level for 6 seasons, my freshman, junior and senior years were the years I cheered. I didn’t cheer my sophomore year because I had a lot going on with homework and problems with the coach. My first 3 years cheering I had the best coaches there were to have! I had Coach Nelson and Coach Filizetti. They taught us the way we needed to be taught. Our routine my freshman and junior (click here to watch junior year's routine) years were the best that the school has seen in years. Our routines were very hard to learn but also were very fun to do. I wanted to be a base for the longest I could be and I was only not in one stunt which shows that I could actually handle being able to throw around girls and be able to do that for a solid 3 minute routine only taking breaks to dance, which isn’t a very good break. I was NOT impressed with my routine my senior year, the seniors (my friend Taylor and I) fought for a good routine but the coach disagreed with the things I would say. It was very hard to have such a horrible routine be my last but I will always remember the routines that wouldn’t have been possible without me and my other bases. I had to have surgery my senior year of high school, after cheer season of course. And I am still not able to cheer, that is a bummer because I was looking forward to being a cheerleader for northern, seeing as I can single base a flyer and not many other girls can do that.
