Why are the Cardinal Newman cheerleaders literally jumping for joy? They won the SCISA State Championship in Clinton at Presbyterian College tuesday, December 5.

Amy Hardy and Stacey Pennington are the coaches. Stacy Pennington is doubly proud because, although she is a coach, she is also a CN parent. Her daughter Ashley is on this championship team.

Jordan Hardy, Leesa Delphia, Kelly Zander, Margaret Solomon, Kara Lighthart, Katherine Gaulin, April Edwards, Margaret Tompkins, Courtney Alexander, Brooke Alexander, Ashley Marczesky, Courtney Poston, and Evelyn Sexton, Mary Clare Egan, Tori Martinez, Caroline Enoch, Rachel Bedenbaugh, Lauren Thaxton, and Taylor Lowman comprise the rest of the Cardinal squad.

Congratulations ladies! Go Cardinals!
