I think that since, historically, cheerleading and dancing were not considered "sports," private companies hold the competitions, its not like an ACC conference. So there are a lot of different championships and since these are gyms, not schools, there must be a whole other subsect of comps for them. And come on, the more trophies in your display case, the better! Go Warhawks! This is fantastic!

You know, it seemed like every team walked away with a trophy of some sort. There are so many age groups, divisions, and class variations that a 'grand champion' was hard to determine. The tournament company wants to encourage winning as much as possible because these girls are at a sensitive age and have worked very hard on their routines. Sean, Thank you.

I especially love the first photo with the young girls holding their trophies. So, who won the main event? sean Ross and Andrew,
