Good Luck to the Warrior Cheerleaders!

The Warrior Cheerleaders will travel to the CANAMM Nationals and College Championship in Myrtle Beach, SC this Saturday!

A dress rehearsal will be held Wednesday, March 17 at 7 p.m. in the multipurpose room of the Hanson Fieldhouse. Stop by and see what the squad will perform at nationals.

The Warrior Cheerleaders are an all-girl squad and feel that they have many advantages by being an all-girl squad because of the amazing partner stunts and pyramids that they are able to perform. They pride themselves with performing stunts which are usually considered to be “Co-ed level only!”
