Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders Year End Awards
From WeAreVikingsFans.com:
On Friday, February 4th the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders, MVC Staff, and sponsors gathered together for the annual Year End Banquet. The banquet is a night everyone looks forward to, and was a great way to celebrate this unforgettable season . It was also the perfect opportunity for the MVC to catch up with one another during the off-season.
This year, the banquet was held at the Minnesota Valley Country Club in Bloomington, and it was a wonderful location! At the beginning of the night, everyone gathered together to enjoy dinner, while watching the Year End Video – graciously provided by Ted Kopacek and Chad Ryburn. After that, there were special presentations by each of our 5 small teams, Team Captains, Head Coach – Tami Krause, and the MVC staff. It was so great to reflect on a year that included more than 400 appearances in the community, 3 trips overseas to support the U.S. Military, the “Dome collapse,” which led to our trip to Detroit, the MNF game held during a blizzard at TCF Bank Stadium, and countless other memories on and off the field. Our 2011 Pro Bowl Representative, Kristina, had just arrived home from Hawaii earlier that morning, and was able share her experiences at the Pro Bowl.
At the end of the night Coach Tami Krause had the opportunity to present the team with awards. The awards were voted on by the team a few weeks prior to the Banquet. A few of the awards include:
Most Valuable Cheerleader – Kristina
Rookie of the Year – Elizabeth
Best Overall Dancer – Peyton
The “Angel” Award – Andrea
Community Service Award – Laura
The Whole Package – Meghan
The MVC Glamour Award – Kristina (Again!)
Vikings Children Fund Support Award- Sarah
The banquet is always a bittersweet evening. It’s fun to reflect on the season and all the amazing times spent together, but it is also the final time the 2010 MVC would be together as a whole. At least the MVC can walk away knowing we had a fabulous year, have 33 great friends, and memories to last a lifetime! We can all agree that the 2010 season is one we will truly never forget!
