“I am so honored and proud to coach this group of kids. They have pushed themselves day in and day out to prepare for this competition. Our season could have been done after state in January, but they have continued to work hard daily to qualify for nationals,” said Allison Luna, the cheer coach for the Wolves.

“The process has not been easy, but it’s sure worth it. To be the first cheer team in Wyoming to compete at the UCA NHSCC, which is the largest and most prestigious competition out there for a high school cheerleading teams is such an honor.

“We can’t wait to make not only Green River but Wyoming proud when we take the mat on this Saturday and Sunday.”

The cheer team leaves for Orlando, Florida, on Thursday and will have its first round of competition on Saturday.

The UCA National High School Cheerleading Championship is the only high school national competition that is endorsed by National Federation of State High School Associations, Luna said.
