We are the Champions!!


Just a quick shout out to Cali and Macey who won 1st place at the Battle of the Champions competition in Savannah, Georgia last weekend. They won 1st place at Nationals in March so they were invited to go to Georgia to compete against other National winners. This was such a big deal for this team because half the girls could not even do cartwheels at the beginning of the season. I am so proud of all the girls who set a goal and worked unbelievably hard to accomplish it. Macey is a flier which means she gets tossed in the air- perfect for her because she has no fear. She also has some of the best facial expressions. She knows how to work a crowd. Cali is a base which means she holds the flier up in the air. She is surprisingly strong and has even turned out to be one of the team leaders. Unfortunately I did not get to go to Georgia with them, but I know they had a great time and hopefully this experience stays with them forever. Go Gymstar Allstars!!!!

Go girls! That is awesome. I'm sure Cali and Macey worked really hard to get so far, and that's a great thing to learn so young.

WOW! I knew cheer was serious in TX. but Georgia! That's so great! I'm sad you were not able to be there. Macey better be nice to Cali or she might not get caught one of these times. If anyone has it on video you should try and post it. I would LOVE to see them. Congrats Cali & Macey!
