By Alexis Kirby and Emma Johnson – Staff Reporters

Sophomore Kenzie Forsythe is a member of the Law cheer team. Advocate Staff Reporters Alexis Kirby and Emma Johnson interviewed Forsythe about the team’s comp season.

Alexis Kirby: How is comp season going for the cheer team?

Kenzie Forsythe: Comp season has gone great. We build off of each other on the mat and off. We still have so much room for growth and I think this group will excel well throughout the time we have with our new head coach Morgan Colombo and assistant coach Erica Gray. 

Emma Johnson How has being a co-ed team played a part in the team’s performance?

KF: Being co-ed has allowed for a very different learning technique and environment. The routines you see us doing compared to the all-girl division can be interesting as we are performing and showcasing the fact that we are co-ed.

AK: What is your biggest accomplishment from this season?

KF: My personal biggest accomplishment was reaching my goal of going All-SCC. As a team, our biggest goal was getting back to competing and bringing back the idea of competitive cheer to Law.

EJ: Can you describe the team dynamics and how you all work together?

KF: The team dynamic has only gotten stronger. Every practice and competition gets us even closer as it is long hours of working as a team and creating memories throughout the craziness that cheerleading brings.

AK: How do you balance schoolwork and cheerleading commitments?

KF: With school work and cheerleading sometimes it can be difficult since our practices are later than most and I am typically very tired after not only school and practice. If you make a schedule for yourself and hold yourself accountable to get the work done, it makes it easier. Finishing my work in school has been what gets me through the season.
