Going “full out” in cheerleading means performing a 2-minute-30-second routine consisting of elite stunting and advanced tumbling and jump sequences at maximum effort and power. This is exactly what the Bellingham Blackhawks Varsity Cheerleaders did this winter season.
On February 24 the team, led by captains Casey Montgomery and Emily Champagne, competed in the Tri-Valley League Competition hosted by Milford High School. They gave an excellent performance, earning second place for their efforts, as well as the opportunity to move on to the Central Regional Championship in Natick on March 3. As they had done the previous week, the team went full out for another second-place win.
Coaches Tracey Elliot and Tina Haynes could not be more pleased with how solidly the girls had performed. Elliot said, “Hard work and dedication have brought them this far. Our amazing season has come to an end, but this is just the beginning for Blackhawk Cheerleading. We are one team, one heart!”
All these high marks, three trophies and the historic win have made this one of the most memorable cheerleading teams in quite some time. Congratulations, Blackhawk Varsity Cheerleaders!
