Anaheim High’s Varsity Cheer Squad took top honors this past weekend (April 16-17, 2011) at the “Sharp International Cheer Las Vegas Nationals.”
Competing against 26 other teams in the high school varsity division, the AHS squad earned high points in stunts, tumbling and other skill sets to earn the top division title.
Anaheim had four teams competing throughout the event. The JV squad earned 2nd Place in its division and the school’s coed stunt group of Geraldine Diaz and Christian Banda also took a 2nd place ranking. The coed stunt group of Justin Martinez and Iris Reyes placed 2nd in partner stunts.
When not competing, AHS cheer team members were making friends with other cheerleaders, playing cheer games and rooting for other teams. Parent chaperones also got into the spirit and even performed a dance routine that included a stunt.
The 41-member cheer team is coached by Christina Capen.
