The Jeff West Varsity Cheerleaders had a VERY successful UCA camp in El Dorado this past weekend. They worked hard as a team and grew their skills. They came away with quite a few awards! Brianna Bartlett, Ashley Moser, and Katelyn Petesch tried out and were named All-American Cheerleaders, the team earned a blue ribbon for their Spirit Routine Evaluation, a GOLD for their Camp Routine Evaluation (the only gold given that night!), and a GOLD/1ST PLACE OVERALL IN THE SPIRIT CHAMPIONSHIP ROUTINE on the final day!!! We are so excited to watch this team continue to improve and perform for their fans! GO TIGERS!!
