This Team of Ours - AU Cheer Sophomore, Chelsea

"Nationals 2010"!!! I phrase I hope to use in the future to describe all of the joy, dedication, sweat, and time it takes to be a nationals competitor. The journey we took to nationals last year not only gave us a new perspective, but it brought the team closer together.

AU CHEERLEADING?!? Anyone who knows us realizes that finding a team like ours is like nailing jello to a tree...impossible. Each person contributes a unique element that I love! A Kodak can't capture what goes on with the team. There is no way to show the fearlessness, mental, and the physical endeavor.

How HIGH?!? Its good to know that what we do at American University will set the standard for the levels of difficulty in future squads. Going to Florida for Nationals adds this competitive edge that people don't normally see on the court. After Nationals 2009, we have only come back setting the bar higher as to what we see as perfection. As a sophomore, I can't wait to go back stronger and more ready for that national title. It will be hard, but this team has shown that hard work goes a long way, and a little added fun goes longer. :]]

"ggggGGGGGGooooo000000OOOOOOOOOOO" ...Love you guys.
