Cheer Profiles
Abbie Placke
About how many hours do you spend cheering each week? I’d say between 15 to 20 hours between practices, meets, and 12-hour tournaments. What is your favorite cheer and why? My favorite cheer is called “Elbows” or some of the other girls call it “Abbie’s cheer.” This is the first cheer I made up when I was a sophomore, and it’s something that other schools don’t do. How long does i...

What is your favorite cheer and why? Glitter, because it was the first “hard” cheer we learned. It felt good to get the first big one out of the way. What is your favorite food from the concession stand? The macaroni and cheese from Marion is bomb! How is your first year of cheer? It's so much fun, and I can't wait for next year! ...

How often do you practice, and what do practices consist of? We usually practice on Monday and Friday for about an hour and a half. We go over cheers that the new girls aren’t comfortable with yet. We try to learn five or more cheers in one practice, but it depends on how fast the new girls want to work. What is your favorite food to eat from the concession stand? At Solon, I like to get the ...

How is balancing cheer in your schedule? I don’t get a lot of sleep because of homework and other sports. It’s a good getaway from all of the other craziness. During wrestling season, I am also involved in volleyball, pitching and catching for softball, open gym and Dairy Quiz Bowl. What are some cheer essentials? Shoes, spandex, makeup, ponytails, hair spray and lotion. How is your first year o...

How many hours on average do you spend cheering each week? Way too many hours to count since it is practice hours and dual days, along with cheering all days on Saturdays, which is a drag at times. Which meet are you most excited for? I like wrestling Beckman since I know most of the team. I also really like cheering at districts, and I especially love state wrestling. How long does it take to do y...

How do you feel about cheer checks? I don’t mind them, but at state duals, they get pretty intense. Most of the time we wait in line for a good 30 to 40 minutes. How often do you practice, and what do practices consist of? We practice every Monday from 5:30 to 6:30 and Friday from 4:15 to 5:30. We practice cheers, teach the new girls more cheers and work on form for our kicks. What can you not li...

What can you not live without? Hairspray. Lots and lots of hairspray. How do you feel about cheer checks? I’m always nervous that I have a fingernail that’s just a little bit too long, or if I have some wispies flying off of my ponytail. What helps you make it through an all-day tournament? Our coach gives us a bag of candy, and when I need a boost, I eat a little chocolate. &nbs...

Which team is the most fun to cheer against? Benton—we love to get into “cheer wars” with their cheerleaders! Which meet are you most excited for? State wrestling is always the most fun. It’s an awesome atmosphere with so many people there watching, and we get to be down on the mats right where the action is happening. What helps you make it through an all-day tournament? Sleeping on ...
