The Redwood cheer squad worked hard and performed exceptionally well in the rally that took place last friday. It was a bittersweet moment for some of the seniors on the cheer squad, as it would be their “last” first rally of the 24-25 school year.
Ava Skoglund, ’26, discussed more on how the cheer team prepared for the Icebreaker rally. She explains,“ We’ve been practicing and perfecting over the summer and really making sure our routine and sidelines look good.” Skoglund continues, “ I think our team did really well in terms of energetic throughout the rally, in our sidelines, and in our routine.” Skoglund finishes,” We learned lots of new cheers and sidelines at camp that we will definitely incorporate into the football games and rallies this year.”
Mia Trevino, ’25, says, “ We’ve been practicing all summer, Monday-Friday, to prepare for this season. We learned the routine we performed at the rally at cheer camp back in June.” Like many other sports, teamwork is key, and cheer is no exception. Trevino says, “I think as a team, our stunts were really solid and clean at the rally overall.”
Skylar Crisauto, ’26, says, “ The rally was super fun, it was amazing to be able to be performing again and being able to welcome students in through cheering.”
Hailey Kazarian, ’25, is entering her last season on RHS cheer. Kazarian says, “I think as a cheer squad, we performed very well and showed a lot of Redwood spirit.” Kazarian continues, “Something I learned at cheer camp that I would incorporate into the upcoming season is teamwork. I learned that it is very important to communicate with each other to enhance our performances and continue to improve as a team.”
Camp this summer has been an incredible experience for the cheerleaders of Redwood that attended with learnng new routines, skills, and overall teamwork to incorporate into the new school year.
