In Bring It On: In It To Win It, Southern California high-school senior Carson (Ashley Benson) arrives at the all-important "Cheer Camp Nationals" determined to lead her squad, the West High Sharks, to victory. But chic New Yorker Brooke (Cassie Scerbo) and her team, the East High Jets, are equally steadfast in their pursuit of the competition's coveted "Spirit Stick." As tension mounts between the two rival squads, Carson falls for fellow cheerleader Penn (Michael Copon), not realizing he's a Jet. When Brooke discovers the budding romance, she raises the stakes by challenging Carson to a one-on-one cheer-off. A spectacular "cheer fighting" sequence erupts into a no-holds-barred brawl and cheerleaders on both sides are suspended from the competition. With their dreams of taking home the top prize all but shattered, the leaders of both squads realize they'll have to take drastic measures to stay in the game.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Ashley Benson, who plays Carson in the film, to talk about the film, her training for the film, and exactly how she got time off from the soap opera she was a regular on to do this film.

So Cassie Scerbo was telling me that you guys had to do a cheer camp to prepare for your roles. How was that, that process for you? Was that exciting?

Yeah, I was really excited to do it. I was excited and nervous and everything. I wasn't expecting for it to be so hard. I thought it was going to be like whatever... cheer camp. But you know it ended up that we had to do our own stunts. I totally went there thinking that I had my own stunt double.

I found out that everything we were doing... we had to learn how to do. So I was totally nervous, because I'm afraid of heights so I had a bit of trouble with it, but I did everything, and I am so glad I did all my own stunts. I was watching other Bring It On movies recently, and it's like you see them, then you see somebody else, then you see them again, and it doesn't look real, so I am so glad I did my own stunts. It was so much fun.
