MATTESON
- Saturday, October 30, 20010
Will-Cook Cheer Association (WCCA) annual competition showcased 7
of their 10 teams over @ Rich Central High School. It was a great day for
cheering and team spirit and from the looks of the excellent performances
everyone brought their “A” game. The gym was packed as usual, with
parents, fans, and friends cheering their girls on to victory. Amateur
Sports News Network was there, to catch all the action.
On this afternoon, the following teams: South
Holland, Matteson, Richton Park, Hazel Crest, Country Club Hills,
Kankakee–Riverside, and University Park performed at four
separate levels: Widgets, Peewee, Junior Varsity and Varsity. All
of the teams were gunning to dethrone last year’s champs in each division.
Well, this year the fans were definitely not
disappointed, as the cheerleaders wowed us with their awesome precision
moves, super-high toe-touches and creative stunts. Before the competition
got under way, the Mascots from Richton Park and Matteson graced us with
their adorable performances. I believe everyone was quite surprised that the
skills our little ones displayed. Great job Mascots!!!

Did you know…
*A recent study led by
researcher, Hermann Engels of Wayne State University, concluded that
competitive Cheerleaders are in the same league physically as Olympic soccer
and gymnastic contenders. The study, which was one of the first of its kind,
measured the fitness and physiology of 33 female high school Cheerleaders.
The group of Cheerleaders consisted of a mix of competitive Cheerleaders and
sideline Cheerleaders (Cheerleaders that cheer for a sports team at school).
The researchers then put the Cheerleaders through some rigorous days of
testing which included workouts on treadmills, stationary cycles and
bend-and-reach tests. These tests measured the cheerleaders’ workout
capacity, flexibility and lean body mass. For more,
