INTERVIEW WITH Hailey
WHAT’S YOUR ROLE ON YOUR PCL TEAM?
- “I’m the specialty flyer. I compete in coed endurance, coed big trick, hang time, and all girl big trick. I’m known for the shooting star coed stunt that I invented and my baskets in Miami Metal’s team routine.”
WHAT’S ONE MOMENT FROM TRYOUTS OR TRAINING THAT MADE YOU THINK, “WOW, THIS IS THE PRO LEVEL”?
- “I think when I saw the amount of double flipping and triple twisting in tumbling, and everyone who was doing it. I have always tried to push the boundaries with stunting, and it’s so sick to see so many other people doing it now. “
WHAT SKILL OR ELEMENT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED TO HIT THIS SEASON?
- “I’m also super excited to break 60 for coed endurance. I’m super excited to show everyone the big trick Josh and I have been doing! It has 3 elements that have never been competed.”
WHAT’S ONE FUN OR UNEXPECTED FACT ABOUT YOU THAT FANS WOULD NEVER GUESS?
- “I am the most decorated coed partner stunt flyer ever
I have 9 in total so far: 2x back-to-back NCA, 1x UCA, and 6x World Cup.”
WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE TO FANS AS WE HEAD INTO THE FIRST PCL SEASON?
- “To the fans, we couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for buying tickets and showing up and helping us show the world that cheer IS the entertainment and we are not an accessory to other sports. We ARE the sport.“
