Competitive Cheerleading

 

The Making Of

 

In November 2003, Pottsville GTC began a All-Star Cheerleading Squad with the goal of offering opportunities for young ladies to showcase their cheerleading talent through local, state and eventually national competitions.   Since Pottsville GTC has always had a star-theme, the name of the cheerleading team is the "Cheer Stars".  Thirteen girls were chosen as members of the newly formed squad.  
 
January 2003
The Cheer Stars made it's first public debut at Winter Carnival where they were the guest entertainment for the Snow Drop/Snow Princess pageant held at Pottsville Area High School's auditorium.
 
March 2003
Time for their first competition!  The Cheer Stars competed in the Keystone State competition held at Penn State's Rec Hall in University Park.  Despite practicing only four months as a team, the Cheer Stars captured the third place team trophy.  Congratulations!
 
May 2003
 
The Cheer Stars competed in the Hershey Park Open hosted by Cheer Power.  The improvement of the squadfrom their first competition to this one was super.  The girls won the fourth place team trophy!  Great job girls!
 
Our first season has concluded and we want to say congratulations to members of the Cheer Stars Elite for a great beginning to our new competitive cheerleading program!  While some girls decided it was too hard for them or it took too much time to excel so they left the squad, these ten girls stuck together as a team and gave it their all!  Congratulations to Lisa Rodgers, Megan Breidigan, Nichole Lucas, Samantha Roshannon, Kendra Grube, Emily Gordon, Laura Dolbin, Kelly Gilbert, Melanie Zilker and Stephanie Miller.  You are all shining stars!
