A little off topic....

BUT....

I need to write this down somewhere so that it isn't totally forgotten forever.

I'm in the encyclopedia. And the Hall of Fame. Well, not exactly me, but my cheering squad and old uniform. I spent many years doing competetive cheerleading (the stuff you see on ESPN) and I just found out some very cool information. Here's what I just discovered through a message on Facebook.

"Not sure if you guys know this or not.... however you all were part of something that has made history. We are even in the encyclopedia. Q-94 Rockers was the very first all-star team in the US and started the sport of all-star cheerleading. Even old pictures of you guys have been featured in American Cheerleader Magazine and your uniforms are in the Cheerleading Hall of Fame. Here is a link of what has been said about you guys from Wikipedia."

All-Star cheerleading
In the early 1980s, cheerleading squads not associated with a schools or sports leagues, whose main objective was competition, began to emerge. The first organization to call themselves all stars and go to competitions were the Q94 Rockers from Richmond, Virginia, founded in 1982 by Hilda McDaniel.[13] All-star teams competing prior to 1987 were place into the same divisions as teams that represented schools and sports leagues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheerleading


Wait....what?? You didn't know there was a cheerleading hall of fame? Book your tickets now before it's too late!
