Team Results
Varsity Cheer Season Wrap-up
The Varsity Cheerleading squad had an outstanding season! The team is led by Coaches Melissa and Jessica Barg.
The Varsity squad began the year in August by attending cheerleading camp, where a new competition routine was choreographed. Traditional cheerleading at football games is just one aspect of TJ Cheer. The Cheer Squad supported the Varsity Football Team at every home and away game. On Halloween the cheerleaders donned the football players' jerseys cheering them on to District Playoffs at Stone Bridge!
They had the opportunity to perform their routine for the school at two Homecoming Pep Rallies and then participated in the Northern Region Cheerleading competition for the Liberty District. The squad finished their competition season on October 24th with a seventh place finish. They received zero technical deductions for their routine at the final competition! Three of the four teams from the Liberty District that competed at the Region's Semi Finals moved on to the final eight at the Region Finals reflecting the immense competition that the TJ squad faced at the Liberty District competition.
Alexis Barrett (Senior) and Lauren Wolbarsht (Senior) were the squad's Co-Captains. In addition to the Captains members of the Varsity squad included: Laura Barnes (Senior), Madeline Byrd, Alice Chae (Senior), Ariel Coronel (Senior), Michelle Gahagan, Nora Gayer, Amanda Gilbert, Adrea Jackson, Min-Young (Megan) Jang (Senior), Hyun Ji, Victoria Kedzie, Marika Lohmus (Senior), Daniella Miller, Christina Moore, Minh Nguyen, Emily Saitta, Kathy Shi, and Cheng Xu. Joining the team at the District competition were alternates Mary Kim and Dayoung Ko from the Junior Varsity squad.
