The Bayfield All-Star cheer team qualified for the U.S. finals.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 27, 18 athletes from Bayfield Gymnastics competed at the America\u2019s Best Championship Cheer Competition at the Budweiser Event Center in Loveland, where their team ranked in the top three, receiving an invitation to compete at the U.S. finals in Las Vegas on May 11-12.<\/p>\n

The team will also compete in the Colorado All-Star state championship in April.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to continue to build our team and improve our routine in preparation for the finals,\u201d French said. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more proud of our girls and thankful to their families for getting them to practice, encouraging them through the struggles of being part of a team, and believing in them and their coaches! Having parents that back and support a team regardless of what position their child is in is a reward in itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assistant coach Bryce Vaughn spent countless hours choreographing, coaching and collaborating the music for this year\u2019s routine. This year\u2019s team members are ages 7-14 and are Imani Apodaca, Grace Barber Tucson, Mckenna Carnes, Elly Coey, Shayden French, Madison Dransfield, Sarah Evans, Leela Fallows, Hayden Ludwig, Hana Maletich Marquez, Amira Montoya, Allison Peacock, Aleaha Ribera, Hailey Robinette, Macy Robinette, Lennon Schulz, Lillian Valdez and Emma Vaughn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
