This year’s varsity and junior varsity cheer teams consist of young, first-time cheerleaders, which offers a different team dynamic than in past years. Though the team chemistry varies for this year, it allows for a great opportunity for growth. Senior varsity captain Allie Gross is one of three leading the team (alongside junior Madeleine Hsiao and sophomore Hannah Weng), and each captain—especially Gross—is excited to see how the cheer team will progress forward.
