This past spring Sierra made the Westlake 6th grade squad. And I have to admit, when she went to try out, I was not sure she would make it. But after a summer of hard work, she really has become quite the athlete! She is strong and sharp and really takes the sport seriously. I admit, that before being involved, I didn’t think much of cheer. But after seeing how they work and condition these girls.. I am truly amazed! She is a base in a strong stunt group… and with continued tumbling training, I know she will take this through high school.
Recently, Sierra and her squad went to competition. They placed 4th, and would have liked to place higher. But seeing that the other squads had been together for a few years compared to this being Westlake’s first year… they really did a phenomenal job. I am so proud!
We all showed up to support Sierra (ALL DAY) sporting matching shirts that I designed and silk screened myself! Even Xander got into it.. watching intently.
I even made the girls matching Westlake Spirit bows for their hair.
After a couple hours… the girls were on!
It was really funny… with all the screaming going on, Xander started to follow suit. He would look around and just start screaming! He wouldn’t cry… just copy the loud cheers all around him. We spent the day watching the performances and eating junk food. It was a great day! And I just could not be more proud! GO SIERRA!
