LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Eastern High School's competitive cheer team made program history over the weekend when it took home the KHSAA all-girls small squad state championship for the first time.
Coach Tyra Anderson said her team outscored 53 small squads across Kentucky. Pikeville placed second and Bullitt Central third.
Anderson said these athletes showed a high level of commitment and all of their hard work paid off. The KHSAA has sponsored competitive cheer since 2010.
The championship was especially meaningful after the team's 2020-21 season ended early due to the coronavirus pandemic, Anderson said.
The team will compete at the national level in February, according to the coach.
