Competition Video: Ashley is the one at the far right, with out a partner.
It was an early start for everyone. They left school before school even started for the day ... travel by charter bus to Houston for a routine that probably lasted less then 10 minutes. Then to sit around for hours for awards. All the girls were nervous and glad competition was coming to an end ... the waiting to enter the arena not only was killing the girl but also the parents who tagged along. They performed, refolded the floor outside ... WE then left from the competition for lunch. Upon returning to competition for the reward ceremony, all the girls become anxious again ... They all were hoping for first place. Time had finally passed and the girls were down on the floor waiting patiently for the rewards. One by one teams were called in place order starting in 14th place, then 13th, then 12th, and so on. It finally came down to three teams. Finally it was over... the announcer said ..."In third place, Leander/Rouse" I thought some of the girls would faint. All were greatly excited but at the same time they were disappointed that they did not get first place.
It became a very long day for Kallie too.
