First Cheerleading Competition!

Today was my cheerleading team's first competition. We have been working so hard for this. Though it was a competition that doesn't really matter, we went there wanting to show how good we have become. The day started off well, and we all met at the school and got ready. We applied tons of glitter and slicked our hair back. We boarded the bus and set out to Beverly High School. We got there, settled at a table, and did a run-through. That went really well, which put us in a good mood. Another cheerleader from a different team said that even on our run-through, we looked like a whole new team. That meant a lot. We sat and watched all of the other divisions go, and then our division started. We didn't really pay attention to the other teams because that would make us nervous, so we just stretched and talked. Finally, it was our turn to go on, and we were all ready. Well, we totally hit our whole routine. Everyone was so excited! We were jumping up and down, and so was our coach. It was awesome! We waited again for the results to be read, and we got our name called for 4th place! We jumped up and started screaming. We definitely were the most excited about winning a trophy. Other teams who got like third or second in their division just sent a person to get the trophy and sat down. We were pumped. It was great. I am so happy right now, and so proud of my team.
