We try to spread the competition to where there's a market. Denver is definitely one of them.

I started singing at the Met when I was seven, and the competition was so fierce that it really prepared me.

Penn State is going to be our biggest competition this weekend. They beat Michigan earlier this year and Michigan won the World Series last year, so they should be pretty tough.

I still think their ideas are really valuable. We've had some wonderful competition.

In order to balance schoolwork and practice and competition time, you need to take advantage of the small breaks during the days so you're not up all night. That will then help you do your best in a meet or practice.

A lot of people, when they hear cheer or dance , they don't think of them as athletes. But that's only until they see them out there. Then that really helps grow the sport.
