This past Saturday I headed to the Heartland Events Center in Grand Island for the state Cheer and Dance Championships. This is where you would have found me on this February weekend for the past five years (since the competition began in 2008), but this time it had a different feel to is as it was the first time I wasn't in my role as coach. I worked with the Lincoln Lutheran high school dance team for seven seasons, but after finding out I was pregnant decided it was time to take a break. However I couldn't miss out on the biggest competition of the season. The team has always done well at state, never placing lower than 3rd, including 1st place finishes since 2010. This year the team competed in the pom and high kick categories and, just like last year, took home the championship trophey in both!
The team was still taking pictures for their kick championship when the pom category was announced!
I am so proud of this team. They faced some obstacles this season, but in the end came together, danced their very best, and gave God the credit. Watching them perform certainly brought back great memories and made me start thinking about what the future holds. At this point I'm putting it in God's hands and praying for direction and clarity in upcoming decisions.
