We hit the routine on Sunday. It was one of the cleanest routines at the competition.

It was a new experience for all of us. We accomplished our goal and it was such a good feeling to see NAU walk into the finals competition.

Our mindset was to make the finals. We wanted to beat the curse. We have never made it to the second day of competition. We were set on changing the perception about NAU cheerleading.

Any time you play good competition, you learn from it. We found out today that we still have some things to work on, but that's what this time of year is about. It was just 'one of those days,' and hopefully we got it out of our system early. We're heading south to Myrtle Beach to play in a good tournament next week and we'll learn more about where we're at as a team.

I just did my routine. I'm a crank bowler. I don't put my thumb in, I just throw the ball outside and hope it hits the pocket.

Charlie did a good job throwing strikes tonight. If our pitchers throw strikes and we make the routine plays on defense, we'll have a chance in region play.
