This weekend was the MI Cheerleading State Competition in Grand Rapids so my team and I went up to check it out. After just over 3 hours in a car, roughly 8 U-turns later, we make it to our hotel! After a night of hanging out, we headed to the competition the next morning. The arena was packed to the brink! We managed to find enough seats, so we all could sit together, in the nosebleed section. Rochester High School... amazing! They took the title. It was close up until the end, the team that took second was in the lead from the beginning but then a massive stunt drop and a hefty penalty pushed them into second place. But Rochester's round... complete standing ovation.

For those of you who think cheerleading is not a sport, you must watch the tape of their round 3 (stunt and tumbling round) and you will not be able to argue against it.

Thanks for the great season team and coaches!
