Stunting in front of the CHSAA poster, varsity bracer Allison Arro ‘25 holds up flyer Riley Gehrke ‘27 during the single base hand in hand Dec. 9. The single base hand in hand is considered the most difficult part of the team’s routine because it’s where they are able to score the most points in difficulty. “In cheerleading, we use a term called ‘hitting zero’,” varsity base Emerson Lindsley ‘25 said. “[It] basically means you go out and hit your routine with zero deductions, no falls, all stunts in the air, all tumbling landed. Usually, the teams that hit zero have the highest placement, since they had the least amount of deductions. Difficulty and execution are also very important point boosters in cheerleading.”
