Ponce thinks that Paulsen fits in well as a new member for the basketball season.

“She always has a smile to share and she has a positive attitude during games and practice,” said Ponce. “She is always giving 100% and tries to motivate the whole team during games,” Ponce said.

Paulsen is only doing cheerleading in the winter sports season because she’s playing soccer during the fall season. She likes cheerleading because the practices are fun and the team can mess around but still get their work done and stay focused.

Some stunts are hard and she is trying to be more enthusiastic with the chants.

“My favorite position is being a flier because it’s a lot of fun,” Paulsen said.

She likes it when they learn new stunts and try out new things.

“I joined cheer because I saw them perform at the assembly last year and it looked fun,” Paulsen said.

Callie Paulsen is happy to be on the cheer team and she is excited to do it next year.
