The Bishop O'Connell varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders traveled last weekend to Liberty University to a Christian Cheerleaders of America (CCA) competition. Both teams gave stellar performances. The JV squad placed first in the medium junior varsity division and won grand champions for the entire junior varsity division. Varsity placed third in the large varsity division.
Next up? The varsity squad travels to Winston-Salem, N.C. in early March to Compete in the National CCA competition, where they will be competing in the large varsity division. For this event, O'Connell will also field two stunt groups to competing in the stunt-a-thon, which is a one minute all-stunt competition.s
"This is a great year for our cheerleading program," said head coach Lacey Jacobsen. "They have worked very hard as a team, and, consequently, have put together some amazing performances."
