JV Initational Results

.

The video from the JV Invitationals can be reached by clicking on the title of this post.

Monarch High School JV CHeerleaders received 15th place at the JV Invitationals. The scoresheets were awesome! The judges really enjoyed our routine that was pretty clean until the final stunt. In fact, with no penalty, we would have made finals, and been in 5th place.

I am so proud of all of the girls. They really pulled together this week to put a great routine on the competition mat. NICE JOB!!!

JV INVITATIONAL

.

Meet at the school at 10am on Saturday for a 10:15 departure. The event is being held at Arvada West High School which is about 30 minutes away. I have Katie O'Connel's mom driving and Tori's mom. That should be enough for all 10 girls. Cha is meeting everyone at the school. I will see you at the event.

The Final schedule has been posted for the JV Invitational at Arvada West High School on December 12th.

The top 4 5A teams will perform again in the finals starting at 2:10. Awards are presented at 2:45pm and we should be back to Monarch by 4:00 or 4:15.

I am required to attend a coach's meeting at 9am. The competition begins at 10am. It would be great for the girls to see as many of the other teams as possible. Details will follow with departure times from the school.
