Milford Eagles Midget Cheer Team are National Champions

Congratulations to the Milford Eagles Midget Cheer team for winning the National Championship in their division.

Written by Jennifer Magdon

We were the SCPW Champs and the CT State Champs in the Pop Warner Midget Cheer Large Level 2 division.

We earned the right to move onto New England Regionals in Springfield where we placed 2nd. From there we moved onto the Pop Warner Cheer National Championship at the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Disney.

There were 6 teams in our division from all over the United States. We hit a perfect routine and won the Midget Large Level 2 National Championship.

It was an absolute fairy tale. A lot of the kids on the team will move onto High School next year, so for them to win Nationals in their final season of Pop Warner cheer was very satisfying. The team received a proclamation by the Mayor on Monday February 1st at Town Hall.

The team is made up of 25 kids and 10 coaches. Head Coach, Kyle Thompson and her Assistants Jen Murphy, Jennifer Magdon, Kasey Gagsletter, Des Gill, Olivia Massa, Leah Zinsky and Alicia Carrol. Student Demonstrator, Maddie Murphy. Cheerleaders are Cami Averna, Wendy Roman, Roy Gless, Ava Ciambriello, Kayla Jurzyk, Mackenzie Maher, Jordyn Wirth, Briana DelMedico, Brianna Aguilar, Tatum Gay, Amanda Queiroz, Nicole Jones, Abby Woodward, Gabby Williamson, Eryn Mower, Leala Harris, Isabel Blanco, Audrey Lane, Sarah Paulus, Marissa Turner, Aliya Prosser, Juliana Soto, Stefanie Feher and our two Team Captains, Courtney Thompson and Emily Rednak.

We are so very proud to represent Milford as National Champs. It is a great accomplishment for both the Midget Cheer and Pee Wee Cheer teams to win a National Championship in the same season.
