After a season full of hard work and determination, the Jonathan Law Cheer recently won the SCC Co-Ed Championship.

After not placing at any competitions last season, Law collected several medals this winter, including the SCC title with a score of 72.15. 

Seniors Charlotte Baldieri, Jordyn Torres, and Mackenzie Forsythe were named All-SCC, and senior Isla Concepcion, junior Cara Mikoliczyk, and freshman Sophia Kiluk were named SCC Rising Stars. Law’s JV Cheer team took second place overall at SCCs.

“This year our team earned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place titles as well as having athletes earn All-SCC and All-State titles,” Senior Captain Charlotte Baldieri said. “To us, these achievements mean so much since last year our team did not place at any competitions. Our team morale has definitely been boosted because of it.”

The team’s improvement did not happen overnight. It came from consistent practice, focus, and strong teamwork throughout the season. Trust played a major role in their success, especially when performing advanced stunts that require full confidence in teammates.

“We build trust when performing difficult stunts by doing drills and having tight bonds as teammates,” Forsythe explained.

Head coach Morgan Colombo said that trust is what makes everything come together during competition.

“When the athletes truly believe in each other, it shows on the mat,” Colombo said. “That confidence is what allows them to perform at their best.”
