This exhibition was conceived as a way to build unity amongst the girls, and encourage Fremont spirit in Anaheim.  All of these girls (50 Fremont families total) cheer all year long for basketball, football and even the police and fire football game here in our community!  In addition, they put in endless hours of practice time perfecting their competition routines to hopefully compete with the best-of-the-best in the Nation!

This year the Fremont schools were amongst the best in the Nation.  All four teams - Irvington's, Kennedy's, and Washington's Varsity teams; and Washington's JV team all advanced to Sunday Finals at the March 7-9 USA National competition. 

Irvington's competition team was so thrilled just to make it to Nationals after all the changes that took place during their season.  In January new Advisors came in and then CwT was asked to choreograph a new competition routine and coach the girls for the 6 weeks remaining in the season.  In just three short weeks the girls had to compete the routine for the first time at UCA Northern California Championships on Feb 16.  They did a great job which boosted their confidence for USA Nationals only 2-1/2 weeks later.  A few changes were made to the routine during this time and off they went.  They had a strong 1st day performance, but we were all unsure, yet hopeful, they would make it to finals.  At the end of day 1, Irvington was announced as a finalist.  Everyone was ecstatic!  Knowing the difficulties of the season and now being rewarded for their commitment and hard work over the past six weeks, the girls and parents were overjoyed!  Irvington had another high energy performance and finished the competition in 5th.     

This was the first time in over 20 years Kennedy High School has had a competitive cheerleading team. The girls had been training with CwT since Summer and went into the season with a strong routine.  Three of their five regional competitions Kennedy finished in 1st place becoming UCA and USA Northern California Champions.  But, just over one week before attending nationals, they lost a teammate.  Some sections of the routine had to be re-choreographed and the girls were committed to making it work!  They went into nationals extremely nervous as they hadn't competed the routine with the changes.  They had a fantastic 1st day performance that put them in 1st place and advanced them into finals.  They finished the competition in 2nd place with a strong final day performance!      

While CwT doesn't coach Washington High School, we still have a great love of and support for their girls.  They had an incredible, undefeated regional competition season.  They went into nationals with a strong routine and it felt like this was their year!  After years of qualifying for nationals but never making it to finals, their Varsity team finally made it!  Even without their coach (she was giving birth to a beautiful baby girl), Washington's Varsity team had an amazing performance and finished 1st!  Washington's JV also advanced to finals, had a great performance and finished 4th.   

We couldn't be prouder of all the Fremont teams' performances and their representation of our great city!  Congratulations!!

The Argus attended the March 4th Spirit Spectacular and posted pictures of the teams in the Local section of the paper on the 6th.  It also did a follow-up on the results from Nationals on the 11th.  Thanks to The Argus for supporting the community's cheerleading teams!
