ATHLETICS
Athletic Highlights!
MERCY CHEER performed at multiple Mercy rallies and Volleyball games as well as Serra football and basketball games. The team grew in size and was placed in a higher division than in previous years. Undaunted, they performed exceptionally well at Nationals and placed 4th in the overall competition. The team now looks forward to a return trip to Nationals this upcoming school year.
The DANCE TEAM also increased Mercy and Tri-School spirit, performing at various Mercy and Serra games. It was a transitional year moving from JAMZ competitions to the United Spirit Association (USA), but the team practiced hard and qualified for Nationals. Unfortunately the remaining State and National competitions were cancelled due to COVID-19 shutdown, but they look forward to a great upcoming year!
