When you think of a cheerleaders, you probably think of a bunch of girls with pompoms on the side of a field, cluelessly cheering about football. That’s fine, but is not quite accurate. Taking that image, replace the pompoms with weights, the field with a fitness room and the clueless expression with looks of utmost determination. Now this image is more accurate to the Hayden Huskies Cheer team.

The team was chosen in September after a round of tryouts and includes 22 hard working individuals. They are no longer a group of individuals however but a team, bonding over the love of a sport.

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerFor the first 6 months of this year, the team trained hard 4 hours a week lifting weights, doing cardio, cheering and practicing dances. In February, they moved over to a rented gym space and began to practice stunting and preparing for competition.

This competition in question will be held on May 23rd at Wonderland. The team, lead by Mme. Monzavi will present their routine that they’ve been practising since almost February. We encourage Hayden students to come out to the park for the day to help support the team!
