Bringing The Heat

No, we're not doing anything to try and stay warm, I'm talking about Sarah's cheer competition yesterday, sponsored by Heat Athletics.  Luckily she was done before the Packers game started.  In fact, we got home just in time for kick off.

The girls took second place (actually third because there was a tie for first in their division).  I have to say, their performance wasn't great.  In fact, I don't know why but there didn't seem to be a lot of enthusiasm from the squad, and it looked like everyone would have rather been someplace else.  They just didn't seem focused and they had a couple of falls during their routine.  I figured that they would have ended up in second or third after seeing all the other teams, but there was one team that I wouldn't have expected to have finished ahead of them.  

The place sponsoring the competition teaches tumbling and gymnastics and is located in the same town as one of the schools that finished ahead of the Falls.  It makes me wonder if any of the girls on that team go there for any sort of tumbling instruction or if there may somehow be a conflict of interest.  After seeing their routine, I do wonder.  Then again, they have pretty much stolen the Falls' routine from last year (which I already said in my review of the Indian Invite), so there's that.

The next competition is the State Jam in two weeks, so they better get their stuff together fast.  The competition there is going to be much tougher that what they saw this weekend.
