The William Floyd High School cheerleading team has qualified for the National High School Cheerleading Championship (NHSCC) in Orlando, Florida. The team secured this opportunity after placing fourth at the UCA regional competition held at Iona University. This marks the first time in the program's history that they have earned a bid to this national event.
In addition to the team's success, WFHS junior Lizzie Marino has been recognized individually. Newsday named her one of the top 50 cheer student-athletes on Long Island. Newsday highlighted Marino's skills, stating, "The elite tumbler executes standing skills such as a toe-touch full and running skills including an Arabian through to full. Marino is also a flyer with stunts including rewinds, hand in hands, switch up full ups, and high-to-high full arounds."
These accomplishments are shared by the student-athletes and their coaches. Head coach Jessica Alvi and assistant coach Christina Molnar have led their team to these notable achievements.
