For real question Lol.
Pardon the crash, but I recall back in the day girls were most likely chosen to a cheer or pom squad for three reasons: looks; talent; and do we have a uniform that she'll fit into. Our school used the same uniforms year upon year, no girl ever kept her uniform.

If our school had two tall girl unis but three talented tall girls, the two tall girls with the higher tryout scores were typically admitted to the squad. Purchasing a new uni for the third talented tall girl would've been too expensive, and her uni would've looked different/better than the other old unis.

In your example, I see it as unlikely a squad would've had a uni to fit a girl.of the size you describe.
