Coach Nowicki's Thoughts:

"We worked through a lot of changes this week including stunts, stunt groups, and some positions in pyramid. We also pushed ourselves to increase our difficulty in stunts, baskets, and running tumbling. Taylor Tyler had awesome energy and confidence throughout the routine. Kierstyn Keeper completed two beautiful back tuck running tumbling passes. Abby Morris did a great job basing for stunt groups and pyramid. We didn't hit a perfect routine today but I'm excited about the improvements we've made since our first competition and proud of the efforts we saw from every cheerleader this past week. We are looking forward to perfecting our skills for the home competition on Friday!"

What's Next:

Competitive Cheer will compete next in Ariel Arena on Friday, February 2 for the MVNU Invitational at 7:00pm.
