Cheerleading..Ouch!

These last couple of weeks the St. Anthony cheerleading team has been practicing like crazy. We have had practice almost every day in order to prepare for competition. This weekend we had a game Friday night and practice for 2 hours on Sunday. On Monday, our day off, we had practice from 8-12 and 7-9. Each of us is extremely sore from all the hard work. Our routine this year consists of standing back tucks, running back tucks, running fulls, double jumps, triple jumps, many lift sequences, a basket toss, a pyramid, and don't forget about the cheer and the dance we also do. After we perform the routine full out in practice, everyone immediately crashed on to the floor. Unfortunately we won't be able to do this at competition. We take a 2 minute break before we do it again, and again, and again! Our competition routine will hopefully get us to state this year. Our goal is to make it to the second day of the state competition. St. Anthony has a long history of excellence, and we want to be part of it. We also need fans. Come cheer your hard working cheerleading team on!
