The stamina, flexibility, endurance and training that is needed for cheerleading proves it IS A SPORT and should be universally recognized as such. These girls (and some guys) work very hard to achieve the perfection that is needed in competetive cheerleading. Congratulations to all the squads that competed and good luck to those who are continuing on to Regions and States.
Congrats to all the girls that took part in this competition. I was there and was very impressed with all their hardwork and dedication. I wouldn’t be surprised if the regional and state champion come from this district again.
