You gotta be effing kidding me?
I am very shocked this made it there. This girl is a cheerleader on the Southern Illinois Cheerleading team. I live 5 minutes away from the campus and it is big news here. I have a very good friend of mine on the team and I panicked thinking it was her that had fallen. I have a clip online of the actual video of her falling including her cheering off the court.
It made me smile to see her cheer because it is so Kristi to do that. I did not know her personally but I know of her through my friend on the team.
Good Morning America called SIU and offered to fly the Cheerleading Team to NYC for the night and be interviewed about the routing they did that made the girl fall but SIU said no because it was not a school sponsered trip, hence they were not allowed to miss class for it.

She certainly is Mike,
My father called the hospital and She chippered her vertabrea(sp?) and suffered a concussion and she will be fine. Doctors said that she needs to wear the neck brace for 6 weeks and then she should be fine providing she stops cheering and does not do anyt sudden movement. I figured she knew she would not be able to cheer so she did one final outcry and cheered as much as she could while being wheeled off the court, and you can bet every SIU fan who saw it on TV or live at the game busrt into tears or smiled like I did because she showed true SIU spirit. Just think shes laying there, probably in pain and all she can think of is "omg I gotta keep on cheering, and let everyone know Im ok."
Simply fantastic.
