The Evermore team, Grand Champions of Junior 1. Immortal was hard on the heels of a top team from the USA.
Local cheerleaders are again proving their high standards of performance, taking several titles at the Global Dance and Cheer Games.
The Silverdale-based All Star Infinity Cheerleaders took 45 competitors in three teams to last month’s event in Hawaii. The invitation-only Games are held every two years, and All Star Infinity also did well in 2017, winning the Junior 1 division and finishing as runners up in Senior 2.
This year’s competition built on the group’s reputation – Evermore successfully defended the Junior 1 title and were named Grand Champions. Members of this team are aged 8-14.
The two senior teams, the majority of them aged 13 or 14, also did well – Relentless won its Senior 3 division and Immortal were runners up in Senior 4.
Cheerleading coach Sheri Read says the competition was an amazing experience.
“Many of the girls have competed either in Hawaii or Australia, but for some this was their first international competition or even their first trip out of New Zealand,” she says.
A highlight was Immortal coming a close second to a team from Cheer Extreme – one of America’s top cheerleading gyms.
Sheri says the group hopes to return in two year’s time to defend its titles.
