Zealous Squads Rallied Crowds Flashing bright smiles to the home crowd, Diane Rubio and Becky Riggs show their confidence in the JV team during a game against Mesa High. Cheer (continued). Meeting the strict performance standards cheer required meant that they executed strong movements, vocalized inspiring cheers and projected thorough excitement. Learning to perform their new techniques came from their experience at NAU cheer camp, July 12-17, where they swept the competition by winning a multitude of awards. The JV and freshman squads were able to take superior plus awards regardless of the girls slipping and faling in the mud during evaluations and having the sinks in their dorms overflow in the middle of the night. As usual, the girls looked back on these incidents and laughed, displaying the same positive atti- tude which motivated participation and en- thusiasm from crowds at all non-varsity games. Both the freshman and junior varsity squads felt that their friendships with each other out- side of cheer helped them to work together better. It's good that we're all close friends outside of cheer because we can yel at our friends on the squad, and they know that we still 'love' them, stated Lisa Cottgen of their united relationship. The girls were excited about student awareness and a rise in spirit and appreciated the players' thanks for the squads support at the games. Design by Ashley Biebel and Heather Oddon etto.
