Imagine Prep’s varsity cheer and dance coach Phoenix Hunt explained that competition and sideline cheer are a little different.

“Competition is what you accomplish as a team and where you compete with other schools, and sideline is team spirit cheerleaders who attend football and basketball games,” Hunt said.

“As a team you all have the ability to challenge yourself and work through everything.”

Over the past two weeks the cheer and dance team have been working very hard in the gym putting a lot of effort and sweat into what they do and it finally got to pay off. The last week before comp day we call in black out week so  practices can’t be missed and if you do you’re not able to compete so it’s very important for every cheer and dancer to attend practices when mandatory. 

“I’m very used to being on a comp. team,” Ginevra Amadei, a senior member of the tam said. “I have done it all my life so I wasn’t nervous, and to do a trio and a cheer routine was super fun for me to experience. This comp. has to be the best competition that I have been in. There was so much support with my team. The crowd’s energy is what really hyped me up the most to see the crowd go crazy when Imagine Prep would hit the mat really met a lot.”

The cheer and dance team is now preparing for its next competition.
