Cheering to Success

By Kendall Howze & Garrett Athey

     This year has been great for the Glenelg Cheerleading team, especially after the team placed third in their last competition on January 12th. According to Coach Oland, there are three different categories: team dance, pyramid, and the overall score. The team placed first in team dance, first in pyramid, and third overall. The last competition shows improvement after their first competition where they took sixth place.

     The team this year has had a great turnout in comparison to last year. Last year’s cheerleading team was not able to compete in any competitions, so it has been an exciting season getting to compete in three competitions.

     The next competition is the Junior Varsity Championship on February 2nd at Centennial High School. Coach Oland hopes to make it to the top three. Even though Marriotts Ridge and River Hill are always tough to beat, she is sure the Glenelg team will do well.
