Obviously, it takes a great deal of hard work to sustain such a level of excellence in cheer for multiple years in a row. This year is no different, as the team is putting in just as much practice and dedication as they were before. In order to prepare for Nationals, they attended rigorous practices three times a week, running straight through their routine so they would be totally comfortable once they got to Orlando. Nationals ran from February 8th to the 10th, with hundreds of teams from all across the country competing. It’s an extremely exciting time for these girls.
