Yorkville Middle School Places 5th at State

The following was provided by Yorkville Community Unit School District 115:

"On Saturday January 21st, the Yorkville Middle School Cheerleaders travelled to Peoria for their IESA State Cheerleading Competition. The girls had been working all season to improve their routine to compete at an Elite level. YMS was in the Medium division which had 22 teams in the division this year. The girls performed their best routine of the season, hitting all of their stunts and tumbling. This is the first year in IESA that cheer is judged on a rubric which includes very elite skills to get top scores in which the girls worked towards getting. YMS placed 5th in the state this year with an overall score of 78.53, including their highest scores in their pyramid and motions and dance. They scored just behind Normal Chiddix who took 4th, Shorewood Troy in 3rd, Lemont Old Quarry taking 2nd and Alsip Prairie taking 1st this year! Great job YMS on a fantastic season!

Team Members included: Racheal Williams, Bri Mahoney, Cassie Wahl, Mikayla Runge, Jillian Gallichio, Alyssa Johansen, Hailey Robinson, Vanessa Dovnar, Alissa Hankinson, Seairra McClellan, Jesszel Mata, Madi Scheel, Jordan Dorsey, Vivian Gross, Kendall Carlson, Rachael Jaskowski, Maddie Greiff, Natalie Keefe, and Coach Lindsay Harvey
