Input: NEW ORLEANS (AP) — She hadn't done splits and high kicks since her cheerleading days in high school, but 40-year-old dance instructor Kriste Lewis set a lofty goal: to try out for the New Orleans Saints cheerleading squad, known as the Saintsations.

 Faced with competition from women who mostly ranged in age from 18 to 28, Lewis never thought she'd make the team. And then, she did. 
  
 "I wanted to set a goal for myself, and the audition was a specific date that required specific training, so my goal was just to make it to the audition," said Lewis, who lives with her husband and two sons in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, about 100 miles northeast of New Orleans. "Honestly, I really did not think I was going to make it." 
  
 Lewis is one of only two NFL cheerleaders in her 40s, and she's the oldest to ever audition for the Saintsations, said Lesslee Fitzmorris, director of the squad since 2001. The other dancer is 45-year-old Laura Vikmanis, who has been with the Cincinnati Bengals dance team, the Ben-Gals, since making the squad at age 40. 
  
 "The applications hadn't been processed when the dance auditions started, so the judges didn't even know Kriste was 40 until she had made it through three rounds of cuts and revealed her age in the interview round," Fitzmorris said. 
  
 Something besides her age sets Lewis apart. A big part of her motivation was her will to make the most of every day since being diagnosed with a debilitating kidney disease that will eventually lead to dialysis treatments and the need for a kidney transplant. Several family members have died of the disease, and her mother has already undergone dialysis and a kidney transplant that her body twice rejected. 
  
 Lewis said she had to have her doctor's permission to join the 36-member Saintsations. 
  
 "I know my time is limited," Lewis said. "I don't want to let any time go. I want to make every day count." 
  
 Lewis will take the field with the Saintsations when the New Orleans Saints play their first exhibition game of the season Aug. 15 at the Superdome against the Tennessee Titans. 
  
 "I can't wait to get on that field," she said. "Just being able to put a cheerleading uniform back on and go at it for my favorite team is unbelievable to me, and I'm having a blast." ||||| HATTIESBURG -- A passion for dance and a desire to celebrate her 40th birthday in a monumental way led Kriste Lewis to the New Orleans Saints' practice facility. 
  
 Standing before a panel of judges, Lewis calmed her nerves by remembering her husband's motto -- "focus and fun" -- as she tried out for the Saintsations in April. 
  
 With six months of dance, fitness training and the love and support of her family and friends, Lewis said she prepared to check a life experience off her bucket list. 
  
 "For me, trying out for the Saintsations was something I always wanted to do," said Lewis, who went to Moss Point High School and the University of West Alabama. "I grew up on the Coast and was a Saints fan all my life. I went into (the tryout) with the idea that the audition would be a celebration." 
  
 Saintsations director Lesslee Fitzmorris said Lewis' attitude and train 
  
 ing paid off. 
  
 "When she needed to blend with the others, she did, and when she needed to stand out, she did," Fitzmorris said. "For example, the first audition was a dance audition. None of the judges knew her age and judged her strictly on her presentation and dance ability. 
  
 "The second phase of the audition process was the professional interview. It was during this phase that Kriste stood out. 
  
 "In the final selection process, it was a unanimous decision to put her on the team." 
  
 Serving her church and community as a dance fitness instructor, the mother of two said she'd lost track of her love for dance until she began training for the NFL cheerleading team tryout. 
  
 "When you're an instructor, you're leading them in exercise," she said. "It's not just for you. 
  
 "I told my husband, 'Please remind me after this audition to not stop dancing.'" 
  
 A matter of health 
  
 Lewis doesn't just dance because she loves it -- it helps her stay healthy. 
  
 Lewis, whose family has a history of kidney issues, was diagnosed with kidney disease 14 years ago. After watching her mother's body reject a transplanted kidney twice, Lewis said she made the decision to live a healthy lifestyle and make the most of each day. 
  
 "Today is the day, not tomorrow," she said. "Wear your best shoes. Don't save that bottle of wine. Why are you hoarding that from yourself? I know there is no cure for (my kidney disease), and I know that I will be on dialysis and in need of a transplant, but I could be killed in a car wreck tomorrow. 
  
 "I think too many times we wait too late to start on our bucket lists. Start it while you feel good and can enjoy it." 
  
 Make every moment count 
  
 Fitzmorris said she survived bacterial meningitis, so she understands Lewis' "time is precious" outlook, and believes Lewis' story will inspire people. 
  
 "I know that she will inspire others to overcome adversity, never give up and send the message to go for your dreams and anything is possible," she said. 
  
 As one of the 36 women who make up this year's Saintsations team, Lewis said she's had a fantastic time getting to know her teammates. 
  
 Lewis is joined by fellow Pine Belt residents Summer Rials, Sara Bass and Lee Armstrong. South Mississippi Saintsations are Jennifer Cain and Mary Cassalme of Biloxi, Sarah Friday of Ocean Springs, Victoria Hunt of Vancleave and Brandy Jarvis of Gulfport. Lee Armstrong is from Tupelo. 
  
 "It's a family," Lewis said. "It's like I have 35 little sisters. All of the girls are so intelligent and they are so kind and well-rounded. 
  
 Team players 
  
 Fitzmorris said with Lewis' background, she wasn't sure how this year's team would relate to one another. 
  
 "At our first meeting, it was immediately apparent that everyone on the team had respect for each other and appreciated the different perspectives and the team's diversity," she said. "The younger ones look up to the older ones for life advice on school, careers and relationships and the older ones look up to the younger ones for advice and tips on the latest trends and to not take things too seriously." 
  
 Having been an English teacher, dance instructor and stay-at-home mother, Lewis said she hopes her story shows the world a woman can be anything she aspires to be at any age. 
  
 "It goes back to a definition of what a 40-year-old woman could be or should be, and they forget that you can be beautiful and smart," she said. "I think my generation especially is redefining (that image)." 
  
 Redefining womanhood 
  
 That's in line with the Saintsations' mission to reach out to the community and young girls. 
  
 "Our program encompasses more than just dance and cheer," she said. "My emphasis is team building and teaching young women how to represent in a positive manner. We understand that we serve as role models for young girls." 
  
 As football season approaches, Lewis said she is getting more excited to cheer for her team. 
  
 She said she intends to soak up all the wonderful experiences this year has to offer, and to try out again in the future. 
  
 "I can't even fathom what it's going to be like to walk out on that field in the Superdome with all those Saints fans," she said. "I hope I don't pass out. 
  
 "If I died tomorrow, I'm good. I'm a happy girl. It's been a blast." |||||
Output:
Finally, a nice story about cheerleading in the NFL: Kriste Lewis is a 40-year-old mother of two who has a debilitating kidney disease that will ultimately require dialysis and a kidney transplant ... and she's also one of the newest cheerleaders for the New Orleans Saints. Her diagnosis inspired Lewis to make the most of every day, because "I know my time is limited," she says. So, with her doctor's permission, she set a goal: Try out for the Saintsations. "Honestly, I really did not think I was going to make" the cut, she tells the AP. But, the squad's director tells the Sun-Herald, "it was a unanimous decision to put her on the team. ... When she needed to blend with the others, she did, and when she needed to stand out, she did." She was the oldest person ever to audition for the team, and her competition was made up mostly of women ages 18 to 28. Because the applications weren't processed before the dance auditions started, "the judges didn't even know Kriste was 40 until she had made it through three rounds of cuts and revealed her age in the interview round," the director says. Lewis, who was a high school cheerleader and is currently a dance instructor, is one of just two NFL cheerleaders in her 40s; the other, Laura Vikmanis, is 45 and has been dancing with the Cincinnati Bengals Ben-Gals since age 40. Lewis' first time performing with the 36-member squad will be Aug. 15 at an exhibition game. "It's a family," Lewis says. "It's like I have 35 little sisters."
