Cheer Athletics jags and panthers looked great yesterday. A few missed passes and falls but nothing they won't fix. Definetly in a league of their own in both divisions. California all stars small senior looked better at jamz regionals, their stunts were cleaner and tumbling stronger. Quakes level 5 team is pretty good and should be higher, but they are only throwing 5 stunt groups so im sure thats why. NCE large coed hit a clean routine and they should be PROUD!! soo clean and loved their energy.

Georgia teams look fabalous all around.

Actually, no one hit a clean routine with no deductions. Georgia, Cheerforce, and Cheer Athletics Panthers had the fewest (1 or 2 each) but the other teams had tons of falls and touches in tumbling. I don't think I've ever seen a season with all of the tumbling falls we've seen so far this year. Some of these teams are throwing squad tucks and then half of them have to pick themselves back up off the floor afterwards. And all the incomplete fulls and doubles...I sit there cringing, waiting for someone to blow a knee. The running tumbling in most of the routines (save for Cheer Athletics, Georgia, and California All-Stars) was downright scary in places. And not in a "oooo, that was sooo cool" scary way, but in a "ohmygodthey'regonnacrash!" way. I'd like to see these teams perfect these skills (like a 90% hit rate) before putting them in the routine. It was painful watching the guy from Maverick's large coed who obviously hurt himself mid-routine but kept on going.

"I sit there cringing, waiting for someone to blow a knee."

I just heard that their were two girls that got hurt pretty bad today taken off the floor and to the parametics...both in the small senior division.

I heard that yesterday was very successful but there are still a lot of performances left for today so lets all pray that there are no more injuries at this competition!

today. My daughter is on another team and said that a girl on the small senior NCE team got injured. So sorry to hear that.

I agree, let's hope for no injuries!

Did you happen to hear which team(s) the injured girls were from?

I just talked to someone who said one was a blonde flyer from NCE (don't know a name) and said it was her leg that got hurt and that there was a lot of blood. Maybe a compound fracture or something? I don't know, but let's hope she's okay in the long run.

Yes, it was a girl on NCE and soon afterward a girl on CA Jags got hurt as well. =(

A girl from Jags broke her leg or something halfway through the routine so half their stuff didn't go up after that. Those are terrible circumstances to win under but sounds like California will walk away with that division.

What happened to the girl from NCE?

Date: Sun Dec 17 3:59 PM, 2006

It was a rough day in this division. I'm a nurse and from what I saw, the girl from NCE had an open fracture - that one was fairly obvious, actually - and the girl from CA had a fracture. Both were leg injuries. Let's hope for a speedy recovery for both girls.

I think the worst part was that they just kept the routines going while these obviously injured girls lay on the floor. Someone, a coach, competition director, someone, needs to step up and say stop the music and get her out of there. I know in some cases injured athletes just head off the side of the floor, but when you're at a point where you've got an injured girl laying in the middle of the floor during a routine, it's over. You're not going to win. Maybe it's just just the nurse in me but they need to get those kids out of there for their safety! Someone could land or fall on her and injure her even more, or injure themselves!

Competition companies need a policy on this sort of thing. I was shocked when no spotter, competition employee, coach, medical staff, no one, stepped up to help these girls immediately, especially the girl with the open fracture who was obviously not going to be able to get off the floor on her own.

Wow I am shocked to hear they did not stop these routines to get the injured girls off the floor. At what point does winning override the safety of the cheerleaders.
I hope both of these girls have a speedy recovery

Today was a crazy day for the small senior 5 division. When the girl got hurt from NCE the girls held it together and did not miss a beat. All the stunts went and they did a great job. The same for Cheer Athletics....it was great to see the team pull together.

Recap from today:

Small Senior 5 Results:

8. A and J allstars - kinda messy

7. Airborne - Had top girl fall in elites all the way to her back. Better tumbling today then yesterday but still a lack of energy.

6. Nor Cal Elite - YOu have already heard about it.

5. Mac - Lost two elites, had really good energy and nice tumbling

4. Az Power elite - great routine choreographed by Tru from F5, great pyramid. They also put up 6 stunt groups. Impressive. Lots of touches on tumbling

3. Magic Allstars --All I can say is wow! They were clean and awesome! I loved there pyramid.

2. Cheer Athletics

1. CA

WORLDS SENIOR LIMITED COED 5

6. Arizona Heat Elite
5. Mavericks
4. KC cheer
3. Brandon
2. Georgia
1. Cheerforce
