Cheerleading Competition

Kellie's cheerleading squad had their first big competition this past weekend in Upper Marlboro, MD. Recent practices have been less than stellar, so expectations were somewhat lower than normal. Defying the odds, RAH! Lightning Storm placed third in their division and earned an American Masters national bid. These competitions seem to bring out the best of her team, and I am proud that she never seems to be bothered by the pressure. Her new nickname is 'Ice'.

Needless to say, Kellie is shocked that they didn't win, but they really did place much higher than could be expected. The competitive season is about to kick into high gear, and they look good coming out of the gate. They should be able to build on this for a strong showing in the bigger competitions yet to come.
