JV Cheer Named Two-Time National Champions

The team was scheduled to travel to Texas to compete at NCA Nationals, but a winter storm made travel impossible. While the disappointment was real, this group refused to let circumstances steal their joy. Instead, they pivoted and submitted videos of their routines to compete virtually.

Hartfield JV Cheer was named National Champions in two divisions:

JV/Freshman Intermediate Crowd Leading National Champions
Junior High Large Game Day National Champions

Competing by video brought its own challenges, but what remained constant was their determination to give their very best.

Even more impressive was the team’s resilience through adversity. With two athletes sidelined due to injuries, Blakely Cockrell from the 7th grade team stepped up, along with Varsity cheerleader Vivian Kinniard, filling critical roles when it mattered most.

This championship roster includes:

Annie June Allen
Molly Kate Bentley
Avery Taylor Blakeney
Reagan Britt
Anna Ryan Bukvich
Neelie Coley
Maci Gentry
Caroline Hunt
Avery Taylor Ishee
Makayla Johnson
Harper Kahl
London Legate
Manning McDavid
Lana Brooke McGinnis
Harper McRaney
Anna Claire Moore
Bailee Moore
Ellery Morrison
Harper Neese
Rivers Reed
Sophie Sheffield
Rivers Smith

Josie Blu Thornton
Eila White

These young athletes showed that champions are defined long before results are announced!

We are incredibly proud of the way JV Cheer represented Hartfield, not only with two national titles, but with character that reflects the heart of our school.

Congratulations to our two-time National Champions! 🎉
