Back 2 Back Cheer Comps

This past weekend was pretty exciting. Amy had back to back cheer competitions. Cheer Power Championship in Ft Worth on Saturday and the Spirit Celebration Fall Classic on Sunday in Denton.


Lightning did not have any competition in their division at either competition so we knew they would get 1st at both of them... but really what is first out of one?


In true Champion Cheer style Lightning went out and hit the routine like they were competing for that NCA jacket. Every stunt hit and it was BEAUTIFUL! Their pyramid is amazing and the dance is so fast paced that it shows the skills of the girls doing it... together... without missing a beat or making a mistake. Jumps were level and in sync. Just an incredible routine.


After all of the squads competed and everyone was on the mat for awards, there simply was not much excitement or anticipation for the Lightning parents. After all we knew what place our girls were in. They announced the senior L3 first place and Lightning stood up to applause from the crowd to collect their trophy and get their picture taken with the other squads that placed first in their divisions as well. We as their super supportive parents even managed some polite applause.


At the Cheer Power Championship on Saturday, after announcing all the division champs the MC started to announce the HIGH POINT CHAMPIONS of the ENTIRE COMPETITION!!!! He listed the top 10 but I did not pay attention until he got to the top 7 mostly because I was too busy packing up and gathering trash. The main reason it caught my attention is because several Champion Cheer teams were in the High Point category! YAY! Finally they got to 1st place in high point which was the grand champion of the competition. It was from Southlake Texas.... CHAMPION CHEER LIGHTNING!!!!!!! :)


At the Spirit Celebration on Sunday the order of events was pretty much the same. Get there.. watch a billion routines, see your own kid on the mat for 2 1/2 minutes, watch a billion more then the excitement of awards sets in. Again we knew Lightning would place first in their division but her HS coach and a couple of her HS team mates came to watch and that made it exciting for Amy. Finally HIGH POINT was announced. in 3rd place was express cheer, in 2nd place was Champion Cheer Burn (my friend that I was withs daughter is on Burn so this was super exciting!) and in 1st place...... from Southlake Texas..... CHAMPION CHEER LIGHTNING!!!!


HECK YES! back to back high point! :) (this means the high point achiever is the Grand Champion and scored better than everyone at the competition not just those in their division)


These were the last of the regional competitions for Amy's all-star squad this year. So far they are undefeated :) YAY! Nationals starts up the first weekend in January in Houston. Then there are two additional Nationals the biggest being NCA which is the first weekend in March.


She has high school Regionals in about 2 1/2 weeks here in Ft Worth then State in San Marcus in January. High School cheer competition will finish up in February at Disney World!


GAH I LOVE CHEERLEADING! :)

this is the routine from Saturday :)
