cheerleaders are State Champs
On Saturday, Feb. 27, the Prairie du Chien basketball cheerleaders attended the 2016 WACPC (Wisconsin Association of Cheer/Pom Coaches) State Cheer Championship Competition held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. The girls had earned the right to compete at the state level after winning the Northern Regional the weekend before in the two divisions they competed in.
The team brought home some state hardware! They earned a second place trophy in the Division 2 Small Cheer Dance category. The girls also earned a first place trophy in the Non-Stunt Division, making them the state champions of that division for the second year in a row!
“These girls have had another amazing season! They have worked so hard for this and have pushed themselves past what they thought was even possible. They have done everything I have asked of them. They gave amazing performances for the competition judges and the spectators at state, making all of their parents, myself, and the community of Prairie du Chien so very proud of them! We made memories that day that none of us will ever forget!” said Coach Kelli Saxe.
The team is thankful for all of the support everyone has given them throughout their season.
