Cheerleader trampled by football team

A suburban Seattle high school cheerleader was trampled by her football team while she was holding up a banner. The video can be seen on You Tube and was viewed more than 725,000 times.

The cheerleader reports that she's a little embarrassed about the incident but that she is fine.

Cali Kaltschmidt tried fixing the banner when the players started running through onto the field.
The 18-year-old Kaltschmidt told KOMO, "Smack, I got run into." http://www.startribune.com/526/story/1519609.html

Kaltschmidt was checking the banner because a former cheerleader said there were no holes in it to ensure proper ripping so she sent Kaltschmidt to check on it. Kaltschmidt said she watched for the football players but didn't see any coming at the the time. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,306981,00.html


Kaltschmidt also said in her interview with KOMO that she was nursing a bruised neck from her car accident the day before. However, she said she'll be back on the field cheering on the sidelines for Friday's game.

According to Foxnews, Kaltschimdt was also homecoming queen.
