The Yorktown High School cheerleaders have once again proven that heart and determination can rival any numbers advantage, earning a Top 20 finish at the Cheer Nationals competition held Jan. 30–31 in Florida.
Competing on the national stage for the time in history of the school, the team not only advanced to the final round but secured a 20th-place finish in the nation — an extraordinary accomplishment for a squad of just eight athletes. Many of the teams they faced fielded 15 or more competitors.
“We are incredibly proud of our cheerleaders for representing Yorktown High School on the national stage,” said Yorktown High School Principal Laura Patek. “Placing 20th in the nation is an amazing accomplishment. Their dedication, teamwork and spirit reflect the very best of our campus. They have made their mark, and now everyone knows about Yorktown.”
