- Hey ya'll,

This is it! We leave at 4:15 Wednesday morning to head down to Daytona. We are all very confident and I am so excited! I can not wait to get down there and compete for a national title that I have not yet won with Maryland. There are older girls that want to win again, but for us freshman we are starving to be a part of that same title they have had for the last two years. Our routine is solid and I am just ready to get out there and show everyone, friends, family, and spectators, what we are made of. DAYTONA HERE WE COME!

Hey Everyone!

We just got done our last practice before nationals, and it was amazing. Everyone feels so confident going into this competition. We had our home show performance last night and unfortunately one of our strongest bases got hurt. We were all a little nervous when we found out she could not compete this week, but one of our girls did an amazing job filling in and everything is hitting solid. It is crazy to think that at this time tomorrow night we will be sitting in the hotel preparing for preliminaries on Thursday. I just can't believe it is finally here! Its a dream come true!
