My old coaches could never get away with this.
I was at least 30 pounds lighter when I was a cheerleader in HS, but there were at least 2 girls on my squad who were about 50-60 pounds heavier than me.
They ran as many laps as we did, went through conditioning, had perfect jumps, were fabulous at gymnastics....IMO, they were just as deserving for a spot on the squad just like the rest of us. It used to piss me off how people would snicker at the sight of them, but they were classy about it...and their hard work was noticed by everyone!
