Rah! Rah! Rah!

Katie and the Madison High School cheerleaders won the district competition so they qualified to go to the state cheer tournament (we didn't even know this existed...). They did super great at state taking first place in these two entries:

1. Spirit Cheer - a combination of cheering, tumbling, stunting, and dancing. Their routine scored 20 points higher than the next closest team.

2. Small group stunt - a flyer with three bases (Katie is a base - the one with the lightest hair). The girls put this together on their own, and practiced after school on their own to perfect it. The flyer is just a sophomore. They are the only small group that had a flawless routine.

We are so proud of Katie and her team. They really worked hard and sacrificed a lot of leisure time to accomplish this. Katie really loved cheering - she's trying to decide about trying out or not for next year. Their main coach has taken a position at another school, and she has other concerns. She has one week left to make her decision. What do you think she'll do??
