About this Article

Addi Knuffman and Alaina Obert concentrated to get the moves just right. They clambered on to the knees of Liberty High School cheerleaders, first sitting, then standing, carefully balanced and waving their silver poms wearing big smiles. The two 5-year-olds, along with 21-year-old Katie Hugenberg, are adding some extra spark to the cheerleading squad thanks to the Sparkle Effect.
