This was Makenzie's first year to do competitive cheerleading- she has really enjoyed it and has learned so much! Their squad ranges from 2nd-6th grade and their last competition, Nationals, was this weekend. They did not get 1st place, but as a squad they performed their very best and that was my hope and prayer for them- that none of their stunts would fall and that each girl would know that she did her best!
At the beginning of the summer only a couple of girls could tumble on their own but by January and their last 3 competitions all of the girls but one had a tumbling pass in the routing- including Makenzie!!!! I can not believe that she can tumble- I didn't learn to tumble until 6th or 7th grade- it brought tears to my eyes each time I watched her do her round off backhandspring in the routine- so very proud!
Such a great group of girls- the older girls were great leaders and role models for Makenzie. She wants to try out again next year!! We love cheer!!!
