Re: What Is Something Awesome That Happened To You And/Or Your Team This Season?
1189 won the Team Spirit award this season - twice.
We were seeded relatively low at Traverse City, and ended up 38th out of 38th at Detroit this weekend. I'm so unbelievelably proud of my team for still sticking in there and being enthusiastic about the competition - especially since a majority of our team is comprised of rookie members who have never been to a competition before. We were just as loud as or louder than many of the teams at Detroit this weekend, and we were the ones who were always in the pit with broken welds, bent frames, lost treads, and lost matches. I've been told multiple times after both events that the Gearheads were clearly heard and seen on the webcasts and at the venue, and that we really deserve it, and I can't seem to grasp my mind around the idea of being as spirited as 67, or 27, or 51, or 2771 - all teams that I respect for their energy, enthusiasm, and unity.
