The NCA cheerleading nationals occurred Jan. 22 in Dallas and the cheer team placed fifth.

“I like seeing the progression, like where they started off and where they ended up,” coach Taylor Eddington stated. “They did well! They got fifth place. It was their first time in that particular category.”

The nine cheerleaders who attended fundraised for the opportunity and also each paid around $500 to attend.

“The entire thing was a bonding experience, we all did really well”, senior Jasmine Grimaldo said.

The cheer team does not have any remaining competitions this month, as they work on their skills for the future, Eddington said.
