Dance Coach Sarah Fisher says it is never an easy task to pick the team for next year. But they look for positive people in tryouts.

“Choosing the next year’s team isn’t always an easy task. There are a lot of things to consider when choosing our dancers. Luckily, I had the help of my captains, Emily Cole and Carissa Dawson, to help me. One of the biggest factors we look at is attitude and effort, and we saw a lot of positives in those who tried out,” said Sarah Fisher.

For anybody wanting to be on the dance team next year, there will be another tryout during the fall.

Cheer Team results for varsity are juniors Ashley Aragon, Bella Padilla, Kiley Harrison, sophomore Kate Barber, Jaelyn Benish, Alexis Enyeart, Libby Evans, Ivy Padilla, Emily Sanchez, freshman Sophia Kay, Isabella Lucero, and Hailey Velasquez.
