These girls have come a long way from when we first started. They're fearless, and they jump right into advanced skills.

This is a way for girls to build self-esteem and learn the basics of cheering, stunting and tumbling. I love to watch their faces after they get done performing because they are so excited.

We placed second. This is the first year of the team, and today, we've got first- to eighth-graders here.

People that were at the first performance will see a huge improvement. We're a completely different team.

I have a figure, and there aren't many girls out there right now who have that.

That was the week of spring break, and we hadn't practiced in a week. The girls are more focused right now than they were that day.
