HHS Cheer Earns National Championship!
Congratulations to the Hutto High School Varsity Cheerleaders, who won their first National Championship at the National Cheerleaders Association High School National in Dallas January 25-26!
The NCA competition is the largest in the country, with over 248 schools and 38 states represented. It is considered the Super Bowl of cheer competition.
Previously, the varsity team had competed in this competition the past seven years and earned 2nd place three times and 3rd place twice.
The team scored the highest they have ever scored (97.3) and defeated the 2nd place team by a full point. Cheerleading is judged similar to gymnastics (difficulty and technique).
