Wow!! What an exciting and fun competition!! Congrats to all the teams, because regardless of the place you took, what I saw this weekend was thousands of determined athletes who have dedicated themselves to training and really worked hard to go out there and make magic happen!
It is soooo inspiring to watch all of you young athletes showing incredible talent, endurance and determination each time you take the floor. As cheer parents, we sometimes forget how awesome that is. We sometimes forget how hard ALL OF YOU train. Each of you should be proud, because you have set your mind to a goal and each of you went after that with all of your heart. IMHO, there were no losers this weekend... not a single one. And the best part of it all, is that I was able to go watch all of you display your talents and dedication!
Make no mistake... it's the ONLY reason I would drive 32 hours round trip, sit through stressful hair curling and cheer makeup, drag my tired ole behind back and forth through 3 competition halls for an entire day, end then endure an awards ceremony that was longer than the last King Kong movie!!
We, the parents, thank all of YOU! Each of you made it one heck of a special weekend!!!!!!
