The Marble Falls High School (MFHS) Competition Cheer Team landed in the Top 20 in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Spirit State Competition Jan. 10-12 at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
The 30-member team included freshman through senior cheerleaders.
“Out of 112 teams competing in the 5-A Division, only the top 20 teams advanced to the finals,” said MFHS Cheerleading Coach Lauren Berkman. “Our cheerleaders were so excited to make the finals and then finish 18th in the State.”
Cheer teams were required to prepare and perform three separate routines to compete in three divisions—Band Dance, Fight Song and Crowd Leading.
“It’s such a uniting factor, spending so many hours together working for a common goal,” said Senior Cheerleader Brittany Miller. “The common attitude to want good things for each other makes this experience so special.”
