Andale cheerleader Myah Rieger has seen significant improvement in her team that her excitement level for the season is through the roof.
“The thing that excites me the most for this season is the improvement of the whole team,” Rieger said. “We have already improved so much since this summer, and are only going to get better. In the offseason, we had practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays in June, and had cheer camp at Andale High School. Since it was just us at the camp, I think we learned so much more than we would have if it was a normal camp with other teams.”
Learning new skills and routines were just some of the focuses Rieger had heading into the 2024-2025 season.
“I think something I could definitely improve on is being more confident,” Rieger said. “Some goals I have for this season is just learning new skills. We already have a lot down, but getting better at what you’re doing is never a bad thing. Also making the foam football to the person I want it to go to in the crowd.”
Rieger, who is one of the leaders on Andale’s cheer team, has already received special accolades.
“Since I’ve been on the cheer team, I have gotten varsity All-American,” Rieger said. “I’ve been a flyer my whole time cheering, and it’s my favorite thing to do at practice or games.”
