Neel 20 Varsity Cheerleading The Varsity Cheerleading team had the best year in the school’s his- tory. The squad has stuck together through thick and thin. During the summer the squad attended camp where they took runner up in the Award of Excellence Finals. The day after the squad got back from camp they competed at a com- petition at Spotsylvania Mall where they took first place. They have sup- ported all the athletic teams whether they had a winning season or not. The squad faced the Stafford Front Row: Michelle Kelen, Jenny Smythe, Kari Altis, Sheri Boisot, Capt. Rachel Briggs, Lisa Esser, Tammy Elms Back Row: Stephanie Hornung, Dana Nielsen, Laura Tate, Chiny Moon, Co-Capt Dawn County School Board which they asked for a change in a cheerleading rule. As Captain Rachel Briggs said “the squad has formed a really good friendship.” Rachel is very proud of the squad and feels they have pro- moted school spirit and have been good representatives for North Staf- ford High School. The yearbook staff salutes the Varsity Cheerleading Squad for all their hard work. The Varsity Squad gets into a routine dur- ing one of the home games.

The '86-’87 school year has been a promising year for all cheerleaders. Both the J.V. and freshman squads had events to look forward to. For the freshman cheerleaders it was the idea of representing their class in their first year of high school and getting school-wide recognition for their hard work. For the J.V. cheer- leaders it was a year to get all the experience cheering as they could in preparation for the varsity try-outs later in the year. However Cheerlead- ing is not all glitz, much work goes Freshman Cheerleaders into making the stunts fun to per- form, exciting to watch, and safe to perform. Perhaps most importantly they must stay behind and encourage the team they are cheering for, even if victory is not a possibility. To help in preparing stunts and cheers, all the squads went to camp over the summer. Terri Allison, voted most spirited on the J.V. squad, said camp required, “hard work, alot of endurance, and practice”. In the end work put in was more than equaled by the experience gotten out. First Row: Missy Roberts. Second Row: Jennifer Lynn, Adrian Cole, Anji Johnson, Kim Brown. Third Row: Julie Fields, Nicole Cournia, Kristin Yeoman. Fourth Row, Teri Yeatman, Colleen Goss. 22 Freshman J.V. Cheerleaders
