Hello all. I know I don't post in the general forums much anymore but this warrants apost. :)
Our story begins back in June of 2005. My oldest daughter was just graduating jr high and preparing for high school. Being quite the accomplished cherleader in jr high, she tried out for the high school team she would be attending. As a freshman, she went in and SHREDDED tryouts earning a spot on the varsity team. This is where the drama portion of our story begins. Even though she went in and owned all the new girls and alot of the current varsity squad, they placed her on JV because it would have ment bumping a senior down to JV. My daughter (Vikkie) is a flyer and there are rarely more then 3 even on a large squad soooo.....down to JV she went.
Fueled by this "minor set back", she set out to kick even more arss and show them they screwed up. Over the next several months Vikkie worked hard learning new stunts and perfecting her tumbling on the JV squad. As competition season approached, she had advanced so much in her stunting that she convinced her coach to form a competition stunt group. The stunt group excelled in competitions and qualified for both state and national championships (the full JV squad qualed for both as well).
Here are a few pictures from the qualifier meet. Unfortunately, I didn't get any good aerial pics at qualifiers.
