Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
try doing stuff together, like the same stunts in a routien that looks good & make you guys a team vs. the rest of teh squad.
try saying stuff like.. well, if there's a competition coming up or camp go "we're going to be better than every tubler out there" an stuff liek that
saying that you two are equaly as great and are better than everyone
saying stuff like ethis will keep her "competitive side" in tact, but will take it away from you.
i'm a varsity cheerleader so i understand.
just, talk to her, say hey- we're good. adn stuffl ike that.
making both of you equal. try not to "race" or anything..
you two on a team- you're unstoppable.

Just talk to her. Tell her that getting competitive with each other is really stupid. Admit you're jealous, and ask if she is, too, but not in a tone which suggests you think she is. Ask her if you two can act like friends at practice and such, because it will be much more fun for the both of you if you don't get competitive with each other. If she doesn't understand, maybe she isn't a very good friend...
