From the crack staff at the Associated Press:
Kristi Yamaoka wasn't about to let a chipped vertebra and concussion ruin her school spirit. The Southern Illinois cheerleader lost her balance on a routine Sunday at the Missouri Valley tournament in St. Louis and fell about 15 feet onto her head. Giving a two-handed thumbs up from the gurney, the 18-year-old sophomore from Springfield moved her arms and cheered. "As long as my arms were functioning, I could do the fight song," said Yamaoka, in fair condition Monday and expected to recover fully.
