Western Christian Varsity Cheer back from Nationals
The Western Christian Varsity Cheer Squad had a successful start to the new year.
The squad took home first and second place prizes at the Fellowship of Christian
Cheerleading National Championships in Orlando Florida.
This was the first time both the Western Christian High School in Covina and the elementary school in Claremont were honored at the championships.
Brooklynne Ratliff, a fifth grader on the elementary cheer squad in Claremont was asked to join the High School squad when one of the squad members broke a rib.
The team placed second in the Varsity Unlimited All Music competition. Christine Porter and Ashliann Taylor won first in the Duos competition.
The team as a whole was one of nine finalists for Squad Of The Decade and coach Amie Roggemann was one of six finalists for Coach Of The Year.
The Squad Of The Decade award is given to teams that represent the best of cheer teams in the nation competitively, as well as through service in missions, leadership and Christian character, according to a news release.
