Madison Youth Cheer Tigers are at it again (winning!)

Madison Tigers youth cheerleaders take 1st and 2nd in their respective divisions at Connecticut State competition. Move on to Regional competition in Hartford!

Madison Tigers cheerleaders are at it again, back to their winning ways. This year, Madison sent two teams (Division 12 and Division 13) to the Connecticut State competition at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain on November 3rd, and both teams walked out with trophies.

The 22 Division 12 cheerleaders broke away from the pack, finishing in 1st  place in their division, and firmly securing a spot in the regional competition, scheduled for November 23rd at the XL Center in Hartford. Meanwhile, the 16 cheerleaders from Division 13 jumped into 2nd place in their division, meaning they will also be competing at regionals in Hartford.

Both teams are looking to secure a slot at the American Youth Cheer National competition in Orlando, FL in December, where this past year, the Division 12 team finished 3rd, and Division 13 team finished 1st in their respective divisions. 
Madison Youth Cheer has only been involved in competitive cheer since 2011, and have sent two teams to nationals each year! 

A wine social to benefit Madison Youth Cheerleading will be held at Chamard Vineyards in Clinton, on November 17th (6pm-9pm) to help mitigate the costs for sending the cheerleaders to the competitions. Go to Madison Youth Cheer > Cheerleading Wine Event for more details.
