While researching more for my first answer, I found an amazing video made by one of the most well known athletes in the cheer industry Gabi Butler. She is known for her flexibility and strength and has cheered for the top two cheer gyms in the United States, won Worlds, and is only 15. Gabi Butler has cheered for Top Gun, California Allstars, and Trinity Athletics. Her video was very helpful and a great resource for my senior project.

Winning Our Bid To The Summit
On Sunday February 3rd, 2013, my team got a bid to The Summit, the most prestigious lower levels competition in the United States. The competition, Duel In The Desert, was hosted by the company Spirit Sport and was a two day competition in Palm Springs, CA.
The first day we performed at 4:35 in Hall A. Our gym name is Starlite Allstars and our team name is Legacy. Here is a copy of the schedule for Day 1.
At the end of Day 1, we were in 3rd place out of 15 teams. Day 2, we ended up placing 2nd and receiving a bid to The Summit with a percent of perfection score of 94%. The team that beat us, California Allstars Sr. White (who later changes their team name to Titanium) was the only large senior level 1 team competing at this competition, so they were put into the small senior level 1 division to compete against other teams. So the team that beat us wasn't even a team from our division. However, we were happy nonetheless, to have beat all of the teams in our division and winning out bid to The Summit.

Update on Senior Project
MENTORSHIP:
Unfortunately I've been really sick these last couple of weeks, and I've been busy trying to catch up on all of my school work. Since I've been sick I haven't been able to practice cheer with my team or coach the youth rec teams I coach for mentorship hours. This weekend I have a competition coming up and I was luckily able to start cheering again on Monday. Since this is the weekend before a competition, and practice schedules overlap since every team in the gym has to practice every day, I will not be able to do Mentorship hours this week. However, starting next week, I'll be able to continue with my mentorship and coach my girls. :)
INDEPENDENT COMPONENT:
Again, since I've been sick I haven't been able to cheer lately, and even though I've started practicing again, my doctor still has not cleared me to tumble. My independent component is based off of me tumbling and improving in the tumbling aspect of all-star cheer, but I will not be able to start tumbling again for another week. Once I am fully cleared to practice again I will be back in the gym almost every day working hard to catch up with where I should be.
SCIENCE FAIR:
The only good thing that has come out of being sick is that I got to sit back and watch my team and other teams in the gym during practice as a spectator instead of an athlete. I got to see my teammates improve and witness our routine change due to more people gaining skills. I'm very excited to start documenting how our routine scores at competition this weekend and to compare how it is scored once it is changed again. Competition season is starting so I have to get ready to start collecting data.
