The cheerleaders received the Herkie award, which was voted upon by other teams as the “most spirited” team. The JV and Varsity squads received the spirit stick at the night’s end. On day three, they received a superior ribbon. The cheerleaders also received another Herkie award for being the “most spirited” team. They chose Sophomore Carly Horn as an NCA All-American Cheerleader.
