33,
That's really funny! Our high school was kinda like that way back when I was there.
Our middle daughter was a Freshman and then JV Cheerleader her freshman year in high school -- but was still growing. She looked decidedly out of place at 6'/130 lbs -- so she joined the volleyball team as a sophomore. The rest of the team were all 5'2" super gymnasts.
Their recent teams have consistantly placed highly in the UCA competition at Disney World. I think they were number 8 this last year, but am not sure about that.
Cheering really has become an athletic event, not just a vehicle for popularity. These kids work hard all the time.
