“Cheerleader of the Year.”  I remember my reaction when I heard my name announced through the sound system after this prestigious title, the syllables echoing through the competition arena.  There must have been a mistake.  Among so many talented, hard-working competitors, including more experienced, male participants, had the judges really selected me?  Recounting the night before, my mind flashed back to my routine, all skills seamlessly executed with surprising amplitude for my small stature. My hard work had led me to accomplish more than I thought possible, I had become XtremeSpirit’s 2011 Cheerleader of the Year on March 27, 2011.

Waiting for the music to come on was like waiting for pot to boil, long and drawn out. "Medomak Valley Pathners, we're back for redemption...". The music had started and we were really performing.

Now the only challenge left was the pyramid. This was the one thing that could separate us from wining and losing. If one thing went wrong the whole thing could fall apart. We pushed as hard as we could to toss, flip and throw her in the air. We hit it, and everyone new that we had it made form here on out. All that was left was the dance.
