Freshman Bella Bauer and sophomore Joie Phillips perfect Bauer´s handstand during a practice in mid-December. The cheer team uses many techniques to memorize the choreography of their routines; however, for some, like senior Arielle Wilson, practice and repetition are the answer. "I personally do not have any techniques for remembering choreography or anything," Wilson said. "For me, I think that it is all about the dedication, practice, and hard-work you put in which allows one to thrive."
Junior Cassidy Derkosh appreciates how the captains use technology to help the girls. "To memorize choreography, I ask my captains about the motions if I am not 100% sure about it," Derkosh said. "Another thing I do is watch the videos they have sent out of each cheer." Photograph by Natalie Womack
