After last night’s cheer practice and the approximately five hours of sleep the team got, no one felt optimistic going into today’s competition. By the time their performance was over, I felt even more exhilarated than when I rode the wildest roller coaster at Sea World last weekend. They hit zero for the first time this entire season, and it was thrilling. This team has heart, and they deserve the win. So happy for them.
