In a remarkable achievement, the Highland Prep West cheer team has secured its first-ever championship title, winning the JV State Championship! This monumental victory marks a major milestone for the school, which has only been in operation for three years. The team's unwavering dedication, perseverance, and teamwork have paid off, earning them the top spot in the competition.
The competition evaluates teams on various criteria, including sharpness, facials, annunciation, and difficulty points. Recognizing the need to boost their difficulty points, the team focused on mastering more complex stunts, pushing themselves to new heights. Two team members who stood out in their effort were freshman, Lilia and junior, Natalie. Lilia managed to learn and perfect a full down in only a week, while Natalie continuously practiced her front walk for months until it was consistent. This championship win is a testament to the team's collective effort, camaraderie, and relentless drive. Each member played a vital role in ensuring the added elements seamlessly integrated into the routine, resulting in a truly unforgettable performance.
As the team basks in the glory of their championship win, juniors Divina and Aryana expressed their pride and excitement for the team's future. "We're really proud of our team for their hard work and dedication," they said. "We can't wait to see what the future holds for us. We're excited to bring more titles to the school and make our mark!" With the team's momentum building, it's clear that this is just the beginning of a winning legacy for Highland Prep West.
