In December, cheer coach Laura Buckman had a team meeting and announced that the varsity cheer team and competition cheer team will be merged into one next year. Cheer coach Laura Buckman decided to make this change to benefit both teams with more practice time. This will change the category they perform along with practice times, tryouts and more. Right now, varsity practices once a week from 6:15-7:20 a.m, however this change allows everyone to practice during first house, eliminating early-morning practices. Currently, the competition cheer team does a routine in the performance category, which involves more advanced tumbling and stunts, but with the switch, they’ll be in the gameday category for competitions where you aren’t allowed to tumble and only do simple stunts.
