Angela on the modified squad

Angela flying


Last week were the try-outs for the Liverpool JV and Varsity cheerleading squads. The coaches for both cheerleading and track were pretty flexible with Angela, as she had to leave some track practices early, and missed 2 days of try-outs due to track meets. Apparently the cheerleading coaches were very impressed with Angela, because she made VARSITY!! Angela was the only 8th grader to make it. I guess it's pretty much unheard of for a incoming freshmen to make varsity(I guess those years and years of gymnastics helped). I was a little worried about how the older girls were going to treat Angela, but so far they have been great, in fact they all want her to be their flyer because she doesn't weigh very much. I never realized that cheerleading is pretty much a 10 month sport, she will cheer for football in the fall, basketball in the spring, and have competitions in between. I guess we will be spending a lot of time sitting in the bleachers! Congratulations Angela!
