his past week, the Bishop’s University cheerleading team competed for the second time this year, this time at Kicks Athletics’ Grease Lightening themed competition in Boisbriand, Que. They proudly brought home a fifth place trophy to add to the accumulation of achievements the team has made

throughout the year. “The competition was a great environment to be able to watch and learn from other teams,” stated a Bishop’s cheerleading team member. “Everyone had lots of fun. We may not have won, but the fact that we were able to pull off our best performance yet, was a great feeling. We are all very proud of the team.” This competition brought a bittersweet feeling to the end of an amazing
season. The team spent all year fundraising, volunteering, and rising for early morning practices, all to reach the team goals set at the start of the season. The team brought home a gold medal from Regional Championships earlier this year. With the help of dedicated coaches, passionate captains and devoted team members, the year was a success.
As the captains pass on their torches and the team says goodbye to a handful of graduating students, the Bishop’s cheerleaders also get to say hello to an upcoming year full of spirit, medals, and a whole lot of sparkles. The Bishop’s cheerleading team looks forward to welcoming new members in the fall, setting more advanced goals for the club, and bringing even more spirit to a school that loves to bleed purple.
