COOPER CITY, FL — Cindi Adair, a young tribal citizen from the Hollywood Reservation, competed in the Jr. Orange Bowl 2004 gymnastics event. Cindy, along with other teammates representing Flairs, placed first. She competed in four events, showing strength, dexterity, and balance.
Flairs were squad A and they performed on the vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor. They are a Level 3 Nov Junior, and they really know how to perform their exercises without hesitation or any signs of shyness.
Adair is very strong in the beam, vault and floor exercises and conveys what a hard worker she is by completing every move with a touch of flair (no pun intended). The awards ceremony was held soon after the routines were completed showed well-disciplined young ladies as they awaited the results of first, second, third, and fourth place.
Each team member out of the four squads was given a personal medal and gift bag for competing in the competition. It was finally time to announce the winners and everyone in the room tensed up with anticipation.
The first three places announced were meet with enthused applause, but when it came to announcing first place, the room erupted in noise that signified that Flairs and Cats of Jupiter were the favorites of the competition.
Adair plans on competing in future events throughout the year and hopefully for as long as she wants in the coming years. Right now, this petite 11-year-old Seminole citizen is setting records and reaping the rewards of her hard work and talent.
