I had SO MUCH fun going to Millie's cheer competitions! It brought back so many memories and it was funny to see that not much has changed. Other than 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th graders are totally stunting and we didn't stunt until Sophmore year. We used to think we were so tough and cool when could stunt and now to think that 10 year olds are doing it! Wow.
There were 3 comps - 3 Saturdays in a row in November. They competed against squads that feed into local high schools in Utah Valley, including another Lone Peak squad. Honestly, the week before their first competition the girls weren't ready. Krisha got injured at tumbling, Mckayla got injured in an accident on a Ranger so they had to reorganize their stunt groups and formations. Also they weren't taking it very seriously...teenage girls tend to talk and goof off a lot at practice and it was starting to show. They really had to get serious and work hard with extra practices so that they would be ready.
Well, it paid off! They did great! They won 2nd place at Lehi, 1st place at American Fork, and 2nd at Lone Peak. The teams they lost to were fantastic - the competition was tough! The girls were happy and proud of how they did...and so were we! I was especially proud of how well Millie has picked up on cheer. She was the rookie of the squad and you would never guess it. And as little as she is, she is a strong base! She is a bit nervous to be a flyer - and I can't say I am sad about that ;)
Way to go Millie!
