Madison's Flash All Stars Cheer team took first place in State which gave them the opportunity to compete at the Nationals Championship in Orlando Florida. They competed twice on Saturday, (March 12th). Normally they do one competition on Saturday and the second one on Sunday. But, because her coach believes in keeping the Sabbath Holy, she didn't want to compete on Sunday, so both were on Saturday. Talk about taking a stand and standing out, because out of all 50 states, Utah & Indiana were the only 2 states who didn't compete on Sunday. With 40,000 cheerleaders competing against each other, it was very nerve racking for these young girls. At a Nationals level they have rows of professional cheer judges watching every move they make, and docking simple errors. Madison's team did amazing on their first competition, but because of exhaustion and nerves they had some big mistakes on the second. The judges score 20% on the first and 80% on the second; so they didn't score too high. They win a huge trophy and placed 9th in the Nation for their division, but they should have gotten so much higher. Maybe next year :)
