Winner High School competitive cheer and dance competed in Gregory on Saturday.
The dance team placed second in pom and third in kick.
Platte won the overall and Dakota Valley came in second.
The Winner Area girls placed third in competitive cheer. There were six teams in the event: Gregory, Winner, Platte-Geddes, Bon Homme, Wagner and Dakota Valley.
“I was super happy with how the girls competed,” said coach Val Ewing. It’s always nice to get that first competition out of the way and for them to work out their nerves,” said Ewing. “Add to that having to change a lot of things the morning of the meet without getting to practice and not having a main flyer, the girls did the best they could,” noted the coach.
The Winner girls practiced Friday and one of the flyers hurt her knee and did not compete on Saturday. Coach Ewing explained this meant having to rearrange a lot of things the morning of the competition.
She said the girls did a good job of adjusting and being moved to different spots.
Winner area competes next in Winner at their home meet on Sept. 8.
The coaches would like to see the stands filled on that Saturday and support the cheer and dance teams.
