Highlights from the state cheerleading finals
There was plenty to cheer about (sorry) at the state cheerleading finals over the weekend. Perhaps the biggest winner was South Elgin taking first place in the coed division. Here’s the winning routine, trophy ceremony and team photo.
Conant placed second in the coed division...
Burlington Central took second place in the medium school category. Here’s a look at their finals routine, and a fun video of the bus returning home that night.
Antioch took fourth in medium school division...
Dundee-Crown was fifth in coed...
Stevenson placed seventh in the coed competition.
Here’s a look at the winning routine for large school state champ Marist...
And Marist collecting the trophy...
Nice sideline view of Johnsburg’s final routine, good for third place in the small-school category.
Schaumburg placed eighth in the large school division...
Multiple talents
This is an interesting tidbit from state cheer. Two Lemont athletes, Avaree Taylor and Ella Phelan, not only won a state title in the medium school competition this weekend, but were also part of Lemont’s state champion softball team last spring.
