The cheerleaders had a rough season. Unfortunately three of the team members did not get to finish the season, for various reasons. The team’s three captains were seniors Jamie Throwe and Chelsea Kurowski, and sophomore Megan MacDonald.
“Being a captain is a big responsibility, but I like being looked up to,” said Kurowski, as she reflected at the end of the season.
When asked what the best part about being a captain, Jamie Throwe said, “I like to lead people toward our goals.”
One of those goals was the cheerleading competition at Windsor High School on February 27, 2010. Rockville started off the competition performing first. There were thirteen other high schools, three JV teams, one middle school, and twelve stunts groups. All of the cheerleading squads competed with normal tourines or stunting, cheering, and dancing. A stunt is when two people throw another girl, called the flyer, in the air. There wre also twelvegroups that solely competed with stunt routines, which do not focus on cheering or dance.
Rockville competed against Avon in the novice division and took first place. The Rams’ dance routine consisted of a mix of different songs that were edited and put together to create one fast-paced song. One of the hardest stunts was the pyramid, which all the cheerleaders are physically connected. Overall the competition was a great one. It gave the girls more confidence going into states in the beginning of March. Both Throwe and Kurowski agree that teamwork will lead the team to success in the comig weeks.
