A brave cheerleader competed by herself at the Nebraska State High School Cheer & Dance Championship in Grand Island.
It was not supposed to happen this way, but two weeks prior to the competition, Katrina Kohel was told by her high school cheerleading coach, April Ott, that three girls quit the cheer squad for personal reasons and that she was the only one left on the team.
Ott told Katrina that they would not compete but that they could still go and enjoy the Championship event.
Surprisingly, Katrina decided she had nothing to lose and told her coach she would be competing by herself.
There is a first time for everything, and this was the first time a cheerleader had ever chosen to compete by herself at state.
"I probably had the loudest crowd involvement there," Katrina told Omaha World-Herald. “Everybody was cheering with me, and it was an amazing feeling."
Not only did Katrina do something many would not, but she also got the entire arena crowd rooting for her all the way including those in her section who were full of competitors from other teams.
Her solo performance finished in eighth place out of the 12 squads in her division.
