I’m proud to say I know many of these girls and their coaches!   So proud of all of them!!  Love this picture of one of my favorite teenagers in the front… that toe touch is looking goooood Jenna Hogan!

Excerpt from the 11 Alive Article:

ACYA is based out of Murphey Candler Park, and the squad is comprised of girls in 5th through 7th grades.

“The girls worked for six months outside their regular sideline season to prepare for the competition,” ACYA Director of Cheerleading Laura Hogan wrote in an e-mail to 11Alive News. “Many long hours have been dedicated to training the girls to compete.”

Last year, the team came in fifth place at the national competition.

“This squad has been like the little team that could,” Hogan wrote. ”This time they could – and they did!”

The Colts were in a very competitive division with a lot of talented squads. This is a huge achievement and the park is so proud of these girls and their families! Go Colts!

Awesome job Ariana Cohen, Caroline Henderson, Jenna Hogan, Olivia Milam, Christy Holloway, Anna Kemmerly, Jenah Clarkson, Jessica Gibson, Ashton Harbin, Lauren Callihan
, Taylor Pressnall, Meaghan Pressnall, Katie Henderson, Hannah Wise, Carson Harran, Ashley Brown, Issy Regas, Lexie Clarkson, Kendall Evans, Olivia Harbin and their coaches- Lindsay Fowler, Holly Trizzino, Laura Hogan and Kelley Gibson.
