W-I-N! Competition Cheer Squad Kicks Off Season Atop Pyramid

The Mendham High School Competition Cheerleading squad kicked off its season on a high note, bringing home a trophy in the first competition of the season.

At the Delaware Valley Regional High School competition in Frenchtown in November, the 12-member squad grabbed a second place trophy, losing only to reigning national champions Burlington.

Capitalizing on the season-opening momentum, the team traveled to Burlington Township the following day for another competition, and the results were even better. 

Battling against the likes of Dover and Roxbury, Mendham topped the field and earned first place at the competition.

Team members include: Sabrina Bender, Samanth Gianotti, Ashley Haynes, Jessica Noll, Kristel Gallagher, Hope Appleby, Mackenzie Storms, Arianna Hastings, Lindsay Berish, Catie Calabrese, Elizabeth Fitzsimmons, Caitlin Cavanaugh, and Kimberlee Gallagher.

The squad is working with new head coach Amanda Porter this season and practice year-round to prep for competition season.
