This past week was a busy one for both Cedar Springs Competitive Cheer teams.  For the JV team, it marked the end of their season as they competed at the conference final meet at West Catholic. The JV team had a remarkable season as they won their 4th conference meet earning them the title of Ok Blue Conference JV Champs for the 2nd year in a row. They won every competition they competed in this year except for one where they placed 2nd behind Division 1 Grandville JV.
The Varsity team finished in 2nd place for the OK Blue Conference meet behind Comstock Park. The competition between Cedar Springs, Sparta, and Forest Hills Northern has been pretty intense all season during the OK Blue conference meets. The same held true at conference finals where they all finished within tenths of points of each other. Sparta finished with a 760.9, Cedar had a 760.2, and Forest Hills had a 760.1.
“I have never been in a competition where several teams finished so close within tenths of points like we did at the conference finals,” remarked Coach Pamela Ingles. “It definitely was a good competition, but also very nerve racking when you are waiting for the final scores to be posted to see where everyone stands.”
The Varsity team also competed at the Delta Plex on Saturday, February 12.  There were several teams that they could potentially compete against at the Regional competition and also State Finals. The Delta Plex is where State Finals is held, so it is a great competition to get the varsity girls in the arena where they are hoping to be in just a couple of weeks. They competed against 15 Division 2 teams and finished the competition in 5th place. They will continue to work hard all week to make all 3 rounds the best they have been all season to compete at the District Competition at Kenowa Hills on Saturday, February 19 at 10:00. The top 4 teams will advance to the Regional competition next week at GR Christian.  Please come out and support the Varsity Cheerleaders at the District competition.
