In January, the Smithson Valley High School Cheerleaders competed in the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) High School National Championship in Dallas and came away with a big win! On the first day of competition, they placed 1st in the Preliminary Competition. On day two, they competed in the Finals against twelve other cheerleading teams from around the nation. The Ranger Cheerleaders placed 1st in the Finals, making them NCA National Champions for the Medium Intermediate Division. They also won a Specialty Award for Jumps. Having not competed at the national level in several years, this national title is an outstanding accomplishment! Congratulations to the SV Cheerleaders on all of the hard work and determination to achieve this incredible goal!
