On Jan. 31 to Feb. 1, the New Trier High School varsity girls dance team placed No. 15 out of 30 teams in class 3A at the Illinois High School Association state finals at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington, Illinois. According to junior and three year varsity member Phoebe Karabas, after working nonstop for three months perfecting the dance, the team really wanted all of their hard work to pay off in their score. “We were all super proud of the way we executed the dance for the last time and when it came time for awards to see what place we got, the energy was really positive,” Karabas said. The team scored 87.44 out of 100, earning No. 15, just behind Harry D Jacobs High School from Algonquin, Illinois. After placing No. 19 last year, the team continues to improve as the years go on.
