On
Wednesday, March 26, 2014, family and friends filed into the Northern Elite
cheerleading gym. On the floor in front
were the athletes, dressed in full uniform and ready to put on a show. It is the 2014 showcase performance. Four teams performed in preparation for the
two day national performance the coming weekend.
First
up was the Junior 2 team: Fire. They had
been having a rough couple of weeks, with stunts looking sloppy and insecure at
practice. However, when they came onto
the mat, everything seemed to come together.
Ray’s full up didn't completely hit. Asides from that, the routine was
perfect. When it came for the second
time for them to do their routine, they hit! The crowd went wild.
Next,
the Embers performed. They are a mini
team, which means that all of the girls are under the age of five. The audience was all smiles as they did their
routines.
The
youth team, Fusion, took the mat when the Embers were finished. The flyers stole the show with their
flexibility and facials in the air. On
their second performance, there were some technical errors. However, their first performance was flawless.
The
Senior 3 team, Reaction, closed the show.
While there was one fall in the first routine, the audience was on their
feet after the powerful second routine hit solid.
All
four teams are clearly ready for competition and to do their best to get the
gold at the Battle at the Capitol in Washington, DC.
