Senior All Star Squad Earns Third Place at US Finals in Texas

Gem City Phoenix competed on April 1 at the US Finals in Galveston, Texas, and earned third place!

This squad has put SO MUCH into this season – probably our hardest working squad yet. ❤️ The past month has brought many challenges (we had two alternates competing this weekend & we added difficulty just two weeks ago) and the competition in Texas is no joke! 😳 We are very thankful for safe travels, our athletes and their families, and the legacy our gym is making.

The senior squad is coached by Hope Huff and Ashley Schralla. You can read more about our all star cheer program here. See a full list of members of the senior squad below.
