Preparing to Cheer

By Chris Gosek

Meeting twice a week to hone their tumbling skills, girls ranging in age from 9-16 have been hard at work as a part of Wendell Parks and Recreation’s “Preparing for Cheerleading” program.

The talented group of girls has been practicing their moves with instructor Kristi Snuggs on Monday and Thursday nights, with the younger students looking forward to becoming cheerleaders and the older girls polishing their routines as they look forward to returning to the sidelines in support of their respective school squads. The energetic group training with Ms. Snuggs includes, Hannah Huffman, Anna Chambers, Amanda Hersh, Iasia Robinson, Jennifer Williams, Katelyn Tarnaski, and Sarah Russell.
