Cheerleaders National Runner Up!
The Game Day Competition Team traveled to Orlando, Florida this past weekend to compete in the National High School Cheerleading Championships presented by UCA. The Game Day squad qualified fifth into the Finals for their division. They saved their best performance of the year for when it mattered most! Your Loveland Tigers moved up three places in the finals, and finished second in the Nation in the Varsity DII-Non-Building Game Day Division.
