U.S. Junior National Teams RING In The New School Year!

Posted September 13, 2017

What better way to start the new school year but with a ring ceremony? All three USA Junior National Cheer and Dance teams got to celebrate their ICU Junior World Championship wins after receiving their much-awaited championship rings.

Last year the first time junior teams performed at ICU in Orlando, Florida, and the groups made up of athletes ages 12-16 put on an incredible show for the cheer and dance world.

The Junior National Hip Hop team made up from the athletes of Legendary Athletics got their glam on for their ring ceremony. These talented ladies beat out silver medalists Team Russia and bronze medalist Team Mexico for the win.

Congrats On A LEGENDARY Win!

Dyer County High School was selected as the first-ever Junior Coed team to represent the red, white, and blue on the ICU stage. After reclaiming their title in the Large Varsity Coed Division at NHSCC back in February, the Choctaws now have two rings from the 2017 season.

Congrats To The U.S. Junior Coed Champions, DCHS!

Congrats to the U.S. Junior All Girl Champions!
