The Longwood Cheerleading team had an exceptional week filled with medals and honors.
The Longwood Cheerleaders competed in multiple events this week and showed off on the mat. The varsity cheerleaders delivered a flawless "Hitting Zero" performance at their first Section XI competition. The varsity team was able to secure a third place finish in the event.
The team then went on to compete at the UCA Pocono Regional in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Once again the cheer squad brought home an impressive top-three finish. With that win they earned a bid to attend the National High School Cheerleading Championship at Walt Disney World this February.
That competition has been held for more than 40 years. The UCA National High School Cheerleading Championship is the culmination of the season for cheerleaders across the nation. It’s the most prestigious high school national championship in the country.
Over the weekend the JV and Junior High cheer teams also attended their first competitions of the season. They were in full control of the mat and showed off their impressive skills by bringing home second-place finishes.
