The Island Spirit All Star Cheerleading youth team started their competitive season in February at Cheerfest Nationals in Abbotsford.
The team of girls aged 8-11 competed two excellent runs at the National event to earn them fifth place in the youth level 1 division. Three of the team members were attending their first competition.
Cheerfest Nationals was a two-day event featuring teams from across B.C. and Alberta. Island Spirit director Mia Heitland spent the weekend on the judging panel.
After running two deduction free routines the team has now been working hard to increase the difficulty in their routine, hoping to place even higher at the their next event on March 3 in Burnaby. The team will wrap up its competitive season on March 10 on the Mainland.
The Island Spirit Junior, Senior and Open stunt groups are preparing for the Sea to Sky International Championships March 30 in Vancouver.
