The Jonathan Law Cheer team is off to a strong start this fall.

Both the junior varsity and varsity teams have similar goals for the year and have exciting plans for the team’s  future.

“Our goal for varsity is to win competitions and make it to Regionals,” Senior Captain Jordyn Torres said. “Varsity is hoping and working towards bringing home some championships this year.”

Last year at competitions, Law worked together as one big group, but this year, they have been broken up into two different teams – junior varsity and varsity. 

“Last year we didn’t place as high, but my freshman year we got first in the Co-ed Division,” junior Cara Mikoliczyk. “This year’s competition doesn’t start till January but we hope for a more successful season. This year, we have a junior varsity competition team so it will double our chances at success.”

For this year’s upcoming competition, Law has one major goal and a plan for how they want to achieve it.  

“Our number one goal is to make it to States this year at competition and hit zero on every thing (execute it perfectly)” senior Hunter Corris said.

Over the course of the summer, Cheer team members worked together and communicated regularly to make the team feel like a family. 

“The environment is filled with so much laughter and excitement,” Junior Captain Maddie Nash said. “I also love having everyone being so close as a team. Our goals for this season are good teamwork, communication, and for strong bonds throughout the team.”

New members of the team are finding their way around and being welcomed into the Cheer community. 

“For my first year on the team it’s going great,” junior Jocelyn Dimes said. “We are just beginning choreography for comp season. The environment is very welcoming and positive, and is always pushing me to do better.”
