Georgetown College cheer took a new step this year. The Tigers joined the growing NAIA sport of competitive cheerleading and took the regional competition by storm Saturday.
Following a progressive pattern during the regular season, GC was ready for big things in Baldwin City, Kan.
"It was a great and exciting day for Tiger cheer. We have had a tough season with injuries; however, the team persevered and pushed through," said GC coach Joanie Alexander. "We placed second in the competitive competition of the Mid-South Conference Championship, third overall (not all schools in the MSC are competing in NAIA competitive cheer). This weekend we saw improvement again and were able to beat teams that beat us last weekend (at MSC).
"As a coach, the best feeling is seeing your team come together and work hard to continue to grow, getting better with each performance. Now we wait and see if the hard work paid off enough to get us an invite to the NAIA National Competition."
