The Winner High School competitive cheer team traveled to Faulkton on Oct. 10 and came home with first place.
“This is usually a great competition for us and it gives us a chance to go up against some of the best teams in the state, most importantly Sioux Valley, who have been the state champion in Class A since competitive cheer became a sport in South Dakota,” said coach Val Ewing.
Winner won the Faulkton meet with a score of 146. Faulkton was second with a 136.5 and Sioux Valley was third, 134.5. Ewing said when Faulkton was announced as second place the Winner girls went wild.
“They have worked so hard all year and it was nice to see them come out on top,” said Ewing.
