The University of Pikeville cheerleaders won their third Mid-South Conference title, Wednesday, March 2, in Frankfort, Ky.
In addition, UPIKE Coach Jeanie Stone was named Mid-South Conference Cheerleading Coach of the Year.
UPIKE cheerleaders competed against four other teams at the competition and came out with a victory. This was special to the UPIKE cheerleaders because they were the only team that competed as all -female. All of the other teams at the competition had 2-4 men each.
“This has been a year with a lot of obstacles. Between injuries and losing five girls after fall semester it was not easy. But, this team has pulled together and worked extremely hard to come to this competition as the only all-girl team and compete. I can not be more proud of this team and their performance,” Stone said.
This is the University of Pikeville cheerleaders’ third Mid-South Conference title and may be the most special yet knowing that they not only won this competition but also won with the only all-female team at the competition.
