Gold Medal Winners!!! Go EAGLES!!!

The Davie Eagles competed in the Special Olympics North Carolina State Cheerleading Competition Saturday, March 7th, and what a day! Ivy Cowden, our Individual Skills competitor won Gold! This was her first year cheering and in her first ever State Competition took home the Gold! She was loud, sharp with her motions and did some pretty awesome jumps and front kicks. Not to mention, the crowd and judges just thought about her the way we do, they thought she was adorable! Way to go IVY!!!

And in the Intermediate Traditional Teams Division, our group also won GOLD! Our veterans that have cheered with us for two years now are: Darlene Lagle, Amber Jeffries, Lauren Kirk, Meredith Johnson and Kristina Fortini. Newcomers this year are: Dakota Tuttle, Karli Fuller, Brittany Foster, Ashley Caudle and Sara Ijames. This team nailed their chant, cheer, transitions, tumbling, jumps and awesome stunts!!! Last year in our first ever State Competition, we took home bronze, this year, we went straight for the Gold!!!

I am so proud of this team, I can not even begin to explain. And I am also proud of my daughter who had the vision and the leadership to start this wonderful team! God is good!
