Winner High School cheer and dance competed at Dakota Valley on Saturday.

In dance, Dakota Valley, Gregory and Winner competed. Winner placed first in hip hop, 2nd in both kick and pom and second overall.  “This was our best performance so far and as a coach I couldn’t be more proud of the outcome of this competition,” said coach Cyndy DeMers. “The leaders and all of the girls have worked really hard on getting their routines choreographed for their best chance at the state competition. They will continue to work on making their movements sharp, clean and synchronized.”
The WHS cheer team took fourth place and improved their scores from all their previous competitions with a total score of 129.   Finishing in first place was Dakota Valley followed by Bon Homme, Dell Rapids, Winner, Dell Rapids St. Mary’s, Wagner and Gregory.  “We have spent a lot of time reworking our routine to make the difficulty harder. So the fact that we just changed our ending pyramid to something a lot harder, I am thrilled with how they did,” said coach Val Ewing.
