DIARY OF A CHAMPION: BY HEATHER RECORDS


AC'S April 2009 Cheerleader of the Month, Heather Records, dishes on what it was like to cheer on Team USA at the International Cheer Union (ICU) World Championship.

RUMOR HAD IT...

I first heard about Team USA through my coach. I researched the tryout process and found out that I had to make a videotape showcasing all my stunting, tumbling, Baskets and pyramid skills. I worked with a few of my teammates to create the video, which also included a short interview section. I filled out a written interview and sent a$25 deposit with the video. Then I waited (for what seemed like forever) for an invitation to try out!

GETTING THE GREEN LIGHT

The suspense was killing me, but about a month after I sent my tape I got the e-mail inviting me to Louisville to try out. I was ecstatic! Tryouts were on December 7th and only lasted aday, but they covered all types of stunts, and we each had to show our tumbling skills. The process actually wasn't stressful, and it was great working with new people from across the country.

We were told we'd be informed via Facebook or e-mail if we made the team. About a month later I received a phone call telling me I'd made theteam! I couldn't believe I'd be representing the United States at the ICU World Championships! My family, friends, school and teammates were all so proud of me because I was the only person from the state of Delaware to make the team.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

I traveled to Louisville again in April for a week of practice. We had practice every day from 9 am to 12 pm and then again from 2 pm to 5 pm. We started to partner up and work on potential sequences for the routine right away. The stunters were so strong and the tumblers were unlike anything I had ever seen before.
