Cheer and dance ends season with success

Competing against nine other Kansas community colleges in a number of different divisions, the Colby Community College cheer and dance team attended the 2019 Region VI Cheer & Dance Championship March 10 at Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina.

The team received second in pom dance and second in the ex-small coed cheer division. 

Performing dance solos, Hannah Eslinger took seventh place and Heather Neises took fifth. 

The small stunt group of Dino Baldes, Paige Baum, Eslinger and Raycelon Kuntz earned second.

"Assistant Coach Bailey Brenn and I are very proud of the team and all they accomplished this year," said Head Coach Ashly Albers. "Everyone put in a lot of hard work, overcame injuries and setbacks, and performed amazing routines at the competition."
