The varsity cheerleaders got first place at Regionals, which was held at school on Sun. Sept. 29 in the fieldhouse. This was one of many wins. The team is eleven-time State Champion and nine-time UCA National Qualifier.
“We had a lot of practice like all over summer and we just worked hard. We got our choreography I think in May and so we just
worked to get out routine and we just practiced all that and trying to perfect everything,” junior Riley Brozenic said.
The team starts with tryouts from the beginning of April to the end of April. They have practice four days a week from 3:40 to 6 including more practice at the football games so they can perfect their routine.
“We all are really close as a team. It’s like a special connection with each person. So if I really feel like when we’re closer as a team it’s easier for us to work together,” sophomore Viola Humphreyes said.

They didn’t just do their routine at practice, on Tuesdays they did team building activities and games before and after practice. They didnt just play games they bought shoes for competition and got to bling them out with rime stones and letters.
“I think we all really wanted to win so we had that drive and determination and we put in a lot of hard work at practices,” senior
Addison Asby said.
The team has practice estimated to be 9 hours a week and to be able to form a bond with your teammates is easier with more time and practice together. Some practice even outside of their cheer practice with taking a tumbling class.
