Sunday Sarah had a cheer competition. I think it is the only one that happens on a Sunday, all the other ones are on Saturdays. It was run by a tumbling clinic and took place at Kettle Moraine Lutheran HS. So far this year in her competitions, her team hasn't had to go against a lot of teams because they will have the teams separated by size. Because there are 24 girls on their team, they fall within the "large" category. So this time, they just had the teams bunched together as junior varsity, so we got to finally see how they stacked up against all the other teams, not just the big ones.
The day started off on a bad note. Sarah was supposed to be at the HS by 10:15. the JV and Varsity teams were going up together on a team bus and we drove up separately. We dropped her off around 10:05 and then took off. The school is about 15 miles away, so we were gong to be there early, but the gym is small and we wanted to be there to get a place to sit. The first session was supposed to end around 10:30, and awards at about 10:45. But as always, things were running late. The awards for the first session were handed out around 11:15.
We had to sit and watch those awards, but as soon as they were over we moved to get our place to sit. Some of the other parents got there shortly afterward and we found out that someone forgot to schedule the bus. So the coaches had to end up calling and getting another bus. The Falls teams didn't leave until 11:00, and Sarah's team as originally scheduled to go on third. That didn't leave them much time to get there, get settled in and warm up. I was hoping that wouldn't be a bad omen for them. The organizers moved the schedule a little bit, so they got bumped back a couple of spots. I don't know if they did that on purpose to accommodate our team, or if just worked out that way.
They did a very good routine, only a couple of small mistakes that I didn't even notice. There were a couple of other teams that have always been their main competition, at least when Sarah was in Middle School. I was expecting there to be a very tight competition, but after seeing the Falls' and then the other teams, I was surprised that they (the other teams) were not as good as what I would have expected. When it came time for the awards, I figured that the Falls were either going to take first or second, though I thought they deserved first place. I was right. It came down the the final two, and when they announced 2nd place went to the other team, Our girls did a bit of a celebration. And then they announced the 1st place went to Menomonee Falls and the girls all jumped up and started screaming.
Of course this was the time that I decided to not bring either the still camera or the video camera. So for Sarah's first time taking first place, I didn't have my camera to take a photo. Luckily, there were plenty of other parents who did and through the magic of Facebook, I was able to get one. So... Here are the 2013 Bringing on the Heat JV Champions. Congratulations girls!
