Enid cheerleader Elizabeth Edson-Houston has had to overcome adversity to be where she is now.
“I feel like my confidence has improved the most,” she said. “My biggest influence I would say is my cheer coach Carrie, even with breaking my arm and going through that recovery she made sure I was still working hard and was included.”
Edson-Houston, who hopes to continue cheering beyond high school at the collegiate level, has worked on improving her mentality this season and says her strengths are her caringness and loyalty to others.
“I think I have most improved my mental health this year. I’ve been through a lot of changes and I am proud of how I’ve grown as a person,” she said.
Physically, she wants to get to where she is consistent on stunts and continue to bond with other members of the Enid squad.
“I want to be able to hit a stunt with confidence, and I want our team to grow closer as friends,” Edson-Houston said.
