Growing Up
Erica has been a competitive cheerleader her entire life. She started very young and has continued all the way to her current year, as a sophomore in high school. Starting so young she developed skills that some girls don't get until they're in college cheerleading. She was on a level 5 team when she was 9 years old. Now they changed the age limit to be on such a high level because the Competitive Cheerleading Board doesn't want young girls and boys performing such difficult tumbling and stunting. But starting at level 5 at age nine she had reached the highest level and since she had her hard skills so early she only got better as she got older. Now she has still been on a level five team for all six years and still one of the best girls on her world recognized team.
