Junction City High School Cheer Squad returned from the 2015 Universal Cheer Association (UCA) with new skills and many accolades.
Twenty-one JCHS student-athletes participated in the four day KSHSAA sponsored 
event focusing on dance, cheers, sidelines, stunts and jumps from June 16-19th in Salina, KS.
The JCHS Varsity squad competed in the all-girls division with 9 other teams. They earned 1st place in home routine, 1st place in sideline, 2nd place in extreme routine, 2nd place in band dance, most improved overall at Varsity level.
The Junior Varsity squad competed against 4 other JV and below squads. They placed 1st in extreme routine, 1st place in cheer, and most improved overall at Junior Varsity level.
In addition to the phenomenal team results, five JCHS cheerleaders were named All-American Cheerleaders: Maliquka Spencer, Shyanne Evans, Shamya Banks, Stacy Klauman and Emoya Davis. As All-Americans, these cheerleaders have the opportunity to travel to London, England to perform in the New Year’s Day parade.
Many individuals, families and local businesses financially supported the cheerleaders to make their participation in the UCA camp a reality. We are extremely thankful for the community support and look forward to representing JCHS and Junction City throughout the year.
