While I was at the DEEP retreat last weekend, Kim was preparing to take her Plano Senior High Cheerleading competition team to the ACA Nationals in Fort Worth. She has been the varsity sponsor for three years, and this year she leads the JV team. But she is integral to the competition team selection and coaching every year.The group came home with a National Championship in their division, High School Small Coed. Okay, only six teams were in the division, so it's not really a national championship, but it is still pretty good. Ask anyone who has ever competed in one of the events. Way to go, Wildcats!
One last brag. Before Kim took over sponsoring, the PSHS teams had never won in a cheer competition--even when both of my daughters were on the teams. She has brought home banners (that's what you get for winning along with a trophy) 3 out of the 4 years she has taken a team, and they were 2nd the one year they did not win. Look out Pat Summit and Bobby Knight, Kim Wilkes has begun her winning streak.
