Roller coasters weren’t the reason the dance team screamed at the national championships.

“We have worked extremely hard this season and to be rewarded with this is unbelievable,” Abby Postman ‘19 said.

City had been rolling going into nationals with wins at the Iowa competition, Prairie, and state.

“We have been the underdogs for so long and now we have proven that we are a forced to be reckoned with!” Postman said

This trip wasn’t the first time the team went to the UDA National Dance Team Championship.   Two years ago after making it to the semi-finals they had set a goal to make finals. 

“Being 11th in the nation means a lot to all of us and I’ll never forget the feeling when they announced we made it into the finals… It feels good to bring home a trophy and to have represented City High in the best way we could have,” Grace Williamson ’17 said.
