Cheer Competition Season is Underway!

Jordyn is incredibly driven and works very hard. She’s making straight A’s in a new school with so much going on. She practices three or four days a week with games and competitions in between. Two weeks ago at a Thursday practice at TC3, Jordyn was doing a roundoff, back handspring, back tuck. As she was coming up from the tuck, another 8th grade girl was coming down from hers and landed directly on the back of Jordyn’s neck. She was hit very hard.  I received a call from Coach Becky and darted there immediately. When I arrived, Jordyn’s eyes were glassed over and she was dazed. We all decided it was best I take her to Kosair right away. Turns out, she was concussed but did not require a cat scan. She was out for five days but returned to cheer as soon as she had the chance. These are the days when fear hits hard but we are so thankful she was okay. 

So far this year, Jordyn has cheered several games and competed in two competitions, with another one this afternoon at Bullitt East. They placed 2nd in their division and their first competition, first in their division ad overall grand champs in last weekends Eastside competition. She has worked so hard as a 6th grader and can’t wait to see what she’ll do! Regionals is next weekend which is so hard to believe!  So proud of Jordyn and her team. Go Generals!
