3rd Cheer Competition

For the past 2 or so months, Arabella and her Diamonds teammates have been working so very hard on their competition routine. Never once, has she complained about going to practice or tumbling. She loves it that much. She has 2 great coaches who have patience and dedication to the sport and it shows. So yesterday, we hopped in the car and headed back to Gardner Webb University for a cheer competition. The girls were super excited and were ready to compete! And when it was their turn, they ROCKED IT!!! The whole team did great. (The judging was a mess and even though they did much better than at least 2 teams in their division, they still came in 6th. I think us moms are more upset about it than the girls - they don't fully understand the scoring and are just happy to have been having fun and doing what they love. It just hurts to see how hard they work, how far they have come and to see them "hit" all the moves and score like they did.) Anyway, Arabella was so happy and proud of herself, and that is what matters. In 2 weeks, the big National Competition will be taking place in Wilmington, NC...until then, Arabella and her team will be back in the gym practicing and having fun.
