Sharks Cheerleading Racks Up The Trophies


Sharks Cheer | Tom Barton

The Long Island Sharks Cheerleading teams had a banner weekend last week.

Being held at their 'home' gym in Rocky Point all five of the Sharks competitive cheer teams took home top four honors. The crowd at Rocky Point was so large that the gym had standing room only and people waiting in the hallways to watch the competitors on the mat.

The Sharks fans have traveled well all season. Even in places like Bay Shore, Riverhead, Smithtown and Lindenhurst the Sharks continuously had large crowds follow to support the teams. The girls did not disappoint. Each time they competed they impressed the crowds, constantly bringing home top honors, but none were as good as the weekend closest to home.

The Sharks 7 year olds took home a 2nd place honor. The 8 year olds also took home 2nd place. Sharks Game Day were awarded 4th place while both the Sharks 10 and 11 year olds took home two first place trophies.

The teams now head to the SCYCA Finals this weekend at Longwood High School. This will also be the last time that the Sharks 11's will take the mat.
