Panther Cheer’s competitive teams got back to work following the holiday break last weekend at the Pacific All-Star Cheerleading Championships in Chilliwack.
The Richmond club took seven teams to the Fraser Valley and each one managed a top three finish in their respective division.
The event is typically a challenging one as teams are coming in with limited practice. It’s rare to see teams produce clean routines, with zero reductions, but that wasn’t the case for Panther Cheer.
The club’s coaches were beaming after six of the seven teams recorded clean slates. Leading the way was the Youth Level 2 squad capturing its division and also being named Grand Champions for their level. The award is presented to the team with the highest score, among all Level 2 teams competing in the junior and senior age groups.
Panther Cheer is now looking forward to its next competition, hosted by its own events company — Pinnacle Cheer Events — at SFU on Jan. 23 as seven new competitive members make their debuts.
