Congratulations to Chelsea on an amazing week! To say she had fun and experienced the week to the fullest is an understatement! With impressive routines and placements across the board, Chels’s highlights include top 10 placements in all pageant categories as well as an overall 6th place in an incredibly large and talented group! Chelsea also took home 2nd in her Show Twirl & her Duet with Cameron! Additionally, Chels mastered some big tricks in the floor and left with us all proud of all she did! Our little social butterfly also made friends from across the country, brought competitors together, and had a blast with her New England girls! Her week was the epitome of what AYOP is all about: Great twirling & being a part of an amazing twirling community! We are so proud of her and her sportsmanship and spirit! ❤️🌟
