coming out of the preliminaries with a 74.83 out of a
maximum of 80 points; they were a full 4 points ahead of
their closest competition. They entered finals on the

a 76.33 - they pulled even further ahead of their rivals
- securing the Middle School Performance National Title.
Our cheerleaders also competed for the Game Time

Out Dance, and Fight Song. This was a tough battle. Two
of the eight teams in the finals for Game Time were
former national champions. Our girls placed 4th overall
in Sideline Cheer, 1st overall in Fight Song, and 1st
overall in Time Out Dance. The three routine scores were
averaged together for the National Grand Champion Title.
In third place was A.E. Phillips Middle School from

National Grand Championship Title went to MOORE MIDDLE
