The Rockford
cheer team is enjoying its success. So far this season, the Rams have taken
first at the Hudsonville, West Ottawa, CCAM at Mount Pleasant and the Comstock Park Invitationals.

"We are doing fantastic," said Rockford coach Kathy
Resseguie. "It has been a super confidence building year. The success
has been based on the success of the alumni and running with it. We have been
able to take first against some of our fiercest competitors from past years.
We have made consistent improvement at something every meet.

"We have an awesome group of seniors," she continued.
"They work really hard and are very self motivated."

The Rams have seven senior members on the squad this season with Liz Belliel, Alex Obetts, Lizz Roelse, Morgan Kashmer, Amanda Mercer, Katie Sakala
and Megan Rahn.

"The last two meets we have definitely improved our round one scores,"
said Resseguie. "We have had very solid high scores in round two, and
our round three is very difficult, so we are just waiting to hit it. We can
definitely see the results of our focus on the mats."
