Battle for the BEHEMOTH

This Sunday, was the biggest competition for us thus far this year simply because it was our own and it was the most creative, most fun, and most challenging yet. BATTLE FOR THE BEHEMOTH. Just the name makes you curious right? Well, this is our second annual Iowa elite hosted competition taking place at Jefferson High School in which teams battle it out for the six foot grand champion trophy. It's huge! Last year, we gave it out to our rivals Iowa All Stars but this year we were determined to make it ours. For this competition, we got to straighten our hair which is awesome because it takes less time and is easier and I sincerely hope we decide to keep it this way for the rest of the year. We had recently learned a new cheer in which I was part of a stunt group and we decided to put it in for the competition. I missed practice on Wednesday because of our playoff game against Bettendorf and so I hadn't practiced it much. That being said, I was a bit nervous for the competition. Also because this was the first competition my new boyfriend came to and I didn't want to not impress him, but he later told me he was very impressed. When we warmed up it was a bit shaky, so that made me even more scared but of course, as always ,the second we step onto that mat we're rushed with adrenaline and pull through to perfection! Everything went perfectly and we truly battled and earned our way to the top. At the time of awards, we took first place and beat out rivalry Iowa All Stars but it was up to the judges to decide the fate of the large trophy and guess what? WE WON IT :) We were the grand champs of our competition, finally. It felt sooo good and the team all bonded together. Afterwards, me and a couple of the girls from my old All girl team (also Iowa Elite) went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse, where I've never been, and I experienced heaven for brief moments. Have you ever had their rolls with cinnamon butter? Perhaps, they are the best bread I have ever tasted in my life with the best combination dip of cinnamon butter. It was awesome and I plan on going there for my dinner birthday. I wish I could write more about my experiences for the day, but homework is calling my name.
