Season Outlook |
| The Aquinas College Cheer Team will be a part of the largest Cheer Championship in the world. Last year over 200 teams competed in 15 divisions. Aquinas will be competing in All Girl Intermediate II Division. The Challenge Cup ensures that all teams perform at least twice with two chances to make finals. Intermediate All Girl II is a perfect place for the Saints to experience competing for the first time. As the season comes to an end, Aquinas will put all their hard work and commitment to the test with this opportunity to compete for their own national title. |
