Panther Cheer Athletics (PCA) has achieved another first Last weekend, their first ever Youth Level 3 team (athletes 11 & under) competed at the Best of the Northwest National Championships and came home with the title, a banner and national champion jackets.
Many of these girls have been a part of Panthers for over five years. Two of them started when they were just three and are now 12. This group is showing that the future is very bright at PCA. Having a youth team at this level is very rare and in fact this is only the second ever team from B.C. formed at this calibre.
The team's nickname is the "Ninjas" and they demonstrated their dedication, commitment, passion and hard work is paying off.
They used this competition as a chance to get scored and get valuable feedback from certified USASF judges before they head down to Anaheim in March for one of the most prestigious competitions - the USA (United Spirt Association) National Championships. It is there that they hope to find more competition of their level and truly see how they match up.
Their coaches and parents are so proud of their great scores (a 92.5 percent perfection score for the two days) and the team is ready to get back in the gym and make some tweaks to get their scores even higher.
