The DCHS Basketball Cheerleaders recently attended UCA cheerleading camp at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville where they received several individual and team awards.
During the week, they were evaluated and earned 3 gold ribbons (the highest) for chants, home dance and Xtreme routine. They earned a blue ribbon for cheer routine and won the spirit stick every day.
Six girls were nominated for All-American Cheerleader: Allison Rogers, Maegan Harris, Hannah Evans, Amelia Patterson, Brooklynn Estes, and Zoe Maynard. They tried out by performing the Xtreme Routine Dance, the All-American Cheer, and their best jump in front of judges. Allison Rogers and Maegan Harris were selected for the All-American Team.
Malia Stanley won the camp-wide “jump off” competition.
Maegan Harris was pinned by a peer during the “Pin It Forward” portion of awards day as someone who exemplifies what it is to be a cheerleader.
Allison Rogers and Maegan Harris were asked to join the UCA staff.
During the competition portion of camp, the team competed with 20 other teams from around Tennessee. They brought home a first place trophy and 2 second place trophies for band chant, sideline chant, and cheer routine.
Other members of the team include: Hailey Redmon, Olivia Winter, Kaitlyn Bain, Leslie Hembree, Madison Mick, Emily Roehner, Payton Bowman, Haley Dies, Holly Evans, and Grace King.
