The varsity cheerleaders from Shepard High School took second place in the Co-Ed 2 Division at the IHSA Sectional at Mahomet-Seymour High School.
As a result the Astros qualified for the IHSA state finals this coming weekend at Illinois State University starting on Friday.
Already this has been the best season in program history: Champions at three invitationals, second at two others, and a return to state.
