B.C.A. International Cheerleading Championships
2005
This competetion is the biggest competetion of the year for KATZ ELITE. Teams from all over the world, including America and
Malaysia came to compete at the competetion; which is held at Nottingham's Ice Arena and lasts over 3 days.
KATZ ELITE entered Senior Partner Stunts on the Friday and it was a really tough division. As the awards were given
out we started to think we hadn't got placed, and when they said KATZ ELITE....1st place! We was screaming and going crazy!
It was against 18 other teams in that division, so a lot of competetion and we were amazed at how well we did.
For the very first time, and their first time competeting, Junior Partner Stunts came away with 6th place against 13!
We were all really proud of them doing so well at their first competetion.
After the awards for PeeWee Partner Stunt, Junior Partner Stunt and Senior Partner Stunts had been given out, they announced
the Overall National Grand Champions in Partner Stunt award. This award was given for the team that had the HIGHEST
score on the friday against EVERY partner stunt division. We couldn't believe it when they announced Partner Stunt National
Grand Champions goes to.....KATZ ELITE!!!
On the Saturday, we were all extremely nervous about competeting in the ADVANCED division for the first time; as this was
the hardest division at the competetion. But we took the challenge and did our best when we went out and competed on the floor
for the first time as Senior CO-ED Advanced. Unfortuntetly, we didn't show them us at our best, as some stunts fell and we
were all concentrating too much. On the Saturday night, we changed the beginning stunt to a better one but still didn't expect
to get placed at our first time in Advanced, and the level of competetion was so high. We went out there on the Sunday
and gave it our all, and tryed our best and when we came off the floor we was so proud of ourselves!! When it was the awards
we didn't expect our name to be called out, but we came 4th place! and got a decent sized trophy!!! Our scores for the Sunday
had increased so much from the Saturday and we had more confidence in ourselves when it turned out we we're that
far off 3rd place. We were so happy to get placed in this division and have more confidence in ourselves because we entered
it, we learnt a lot of lessons, bonded more as a squad and feel like we rose to the challenge. KATZ ELITE -x- PRIDE
