Cheerleaders Attend UCA Regional Competition

By: Brooke Miller

On November 3, 2013, the Wynford Cheerleaders traveled three hours to Dayton to attend the annual UCA Regional Cheerleading Competition. The competition consisted of many divisions including the “Game Day” competition in which the Royals participated. In a game day competition, the cheerleaders were required to do a defensive chant, a crowd-leading cheer, and an original band dance or fight song. The cheerleaders used pom-poms, signs, megaphones, and the help of Royal Rex to “wow” the judges in a total of three minutes. At the end of the day, the cheerleaders finished third overall for the Game Day division; ending two points short of qualifying for the national competition.  Hannah Langston, varsity cheerleader, stated, “Even though it was three minutes, it was a very long day for the cheerleaders, and we are all very proud of our performance as a squad.” The Wynford cheerleaders may be attending more regional competitions in Bowling Green, Ohio and Kentucky to qualify for national competition in Orlando, Florida in the near future. Go Royals! Go! Fight! Win!
