Irving College cheerleaders take big title

A local group of young ladies have something to be very proud of ? a National Championship.

The Irving College varsity cheerleaders traveled to Gatlinburg on Dec. 3, in order to compete in the Jamfest National Cheerleading competition.

After two days of competition the Lady Tigers captured the first place trophy in their division, making then Jamfest National Champions.

” I’m very proud of all the hard work and dedication the cheerleaders put forth in preparing for and during the competition,” said cheer coach Dana McGowan. “We want to thank all the sponsors and parents, for without them it would not have been possible for the cheerleaders to make this trip and have the opportunity to win a championship.”
