Varsity cheer coach Lisa Knipp said that the team has been adding difficulty to its routine. “We’ll add difficulty to transitions to our partner stunts, we’ll add difficulty in transitions in new structures, pyramids, sequences and we’ll also be adding more difficulty to our tumbling passes both standing and running tumbling,” Knipp said.
