About Katlin
Expertise
I can answer all kinds of questions that are about tumbeling, stunting, flying, cheering, dancing, flexabilty, motions, and just getting back in shape. I can't answer questions about the drill team. I was on an all-star team for 7 years and am currently on my high school team which I have been on for 3 years, and I am currently captain of my high school squad. On my all-star team I was a flyer, a base, and a tumbler. I would be glad to help you, so you may give me some of your questions and I would be glad to give you as much information as I can.

Experience
I have cheered for 7 years for an all star team. We traveled out of state. I was a flyer but I know how to base and backspot.

Organizations
I am on an all-star team and high school team.

Publications
In the newspaper.

Education/Credentials
I am captain of the girls basketball cheerleading squad.

Awards and Honors
Nationals more than once, many different places.
