Cheer team ready for season

“We have five seniors: Lauren Yates (captain), Brittany Holdridge (captain), Brittany Taylor, McKenzie Knapp, and Jennifer Sell. They are all returning from last year; two juniors: Bailey Pickles and BriAnna Olivarez — both have been on the team previously; four sophomores: Miranda Strack, Jessica Borrmann, Taylor Cambal, and Nina Lepaus. Everyone is returning except Nina who is a foreign exchange student from Finland who has a background in gymnastics over there,” Spotts said.

The team is rounded out by three freshmen: Brianna Yates (younger sister of senior Lauren Yates), Aireanna McLaughlin and Mackenzie Brown.
