Well, from Roy Martin Middle School to Grant Sawyer Middle School, where the competitive cheer team has a lot to cheer about.

They recently competed in the USA Junior Nationals Championship in California.

And, proud to say, they came back to Vegas with the title.

[coach counting off] (Katelyn Jewel Miguel) Cheer isn't an everybody's sport.

To be on a competitive cheer team, it takes-- it takes a lot of hard work.

You spend all these practices together, and you spend half of your weekends with them, and you have to create that bond.

(Jourdyn Prough) I honestly love doing it because it's a great support system, and it pretty much is your family towards the end of the season.

(Shelby Green) Okay, ready.

S-M-S.

I started the cheer team four years ago.

We had no uniforms, no mats, no anything.

And so we built the program from the ground up, and we're really proud of how far it's come.

-We come here, we change, we roll up the mats, and we go to our elites or pyramid or dance or cheer, and we work on each section to make it perfect.

-In a competitive cheer team, you have to work as a unit.

You have to work together, and you have to build that trust.

(Destiny Young) You have a stunt group that is just in their own world, it's gonna affect everybody.

So it's more like we do it as one.

It's not you all by yourself, or you can't just do this and that.

You have to do it as a team and work well with everybody.

-1-hit 3-5-7-1.

-When you walk onto mat, you have to leave that routine on that mat, because what you've been working hard for is what you're gonna put in front of the judges.

-Your goal is to do what's called "hitting zero."

So you get zero deductions.

And usually when you hit zero, you are more likely to win.

-USA nationals is in California.

It's in Anaheim.

-So it's the championship for all middle schools from across the country.

-We went to Anaheim my sixth grade year.

We, let's just say we did not do very good.

-I was nervous for the first time.

I'm normally not nervous for competition.

But this one, I was nervous.

-I was scared, but when I got on the mat, I just remembered things from muscle memory.

-I had my head bowed, and I was like, we're gonna do it.

We're gonna win this.

-As soon as they said second place and third place, it was relief, just all over our bodies.

-We went there, and we worked our butts off for that spotlight.

We're national champions.

That's what we do.

-To see them finally win and get recognized for all that hard work, and to see it pay off for them, you could tell that they felt like the work was all worth it.

And I was happy for them that they finally got that moment.

(Hailee Duggins) Well, they have.

We all have dedicated a lot of time to skill set technique this season.

I think a lot of conditioning, more than they're accustomed to, but it really paid off.

-You have to have, like, a lot of patience for this.

-I would bring my strength and to push beyond my boundaries and try to do my best at it.

-You build confidence.

-And you also learn to, like, work well with teammates.

-I love doing this.

-Sawyer me!

Sawyer on 3!

1-2-3, Sawyer!

-Nice job!

Well, we want to brag a little more about this coach and this team.

Coach Green tells us this squad has taken home first place in every competition they attended this year.

What an incredible work ethic, not to mention talent.

Congratulations!

That's what you get when it comes to my cheering abilities.
