Cheerleader Spotlight
Olivia McBride
School: Greenfield-Central
Grade: 11th
Position: Base
Favorite stunt: Base 360 extension, because it’s one of the hardest stunts, and I feel successful when I hit one.
Favorite cheerleading competition, so far: State Fair, because I like how all the teams get together and play games and get to know each other.
Individual cheer goals: Practice and compete to 110 percent of my ability.
Favorite aspect of cheerleading: Being able to cheer others on, so they can do their best. And being able to show people our talent.
Team cheer goals: Walk tight and show off our routine that we have to show.
Other extracurricular activities: Track and field.
Most challenging aspect of cheerleading: Definitely stunting.
Most painful cheer injury: I have a horrible back, and we still don’t know exactly what is wrong with it after about three years. It’s painful during practices, but I just have to work through it.
