Taylor Kuhner - Most Improved Player - JV A Cheerleading
The Most Improved Award goes to a cheerleader who has shown tremendous growth and dedication since she first put on her Kellenberg cheerleading uniform in September. Taylor Kuhner has spent her time perfecting her already-existing skills and striving to acquire new ones. She has pushed herself throughout the season to improve her stunting and tumbling skills, and she has continued to impress us each and every practice. We are proud to recognize all of her improvements this year, and we can’t wait to see her bright future as a cheerleader. This season’s most improved JV A cheerleader is Taylor Kuhner.

Kelly Schecht - Most Valuable Player - JV B Cheerleading
Coming onto the winter team Kelly we had no idea how much Kelly would bring to the table. Originally trying out as a base and flyer, Kelly stepped up learning new counts and skills. She was thrown into both the opening stunt and end pyramid and did so perfectly. Kelly has not only improved greatly but also opened herself to sharing her great tumbling skills. Being able to play more than one position makes Kelly certainly one of the most valuable players on the team and a bright future in the program. Congratulations Kelly!
