Alaska Cheer Team Stuns at Ohio Competition

A cheer team from Anchorage, Alaska, just made ways by winning the Grand Champion title at a big competition in Columbus, Ohio. Black Ice, the top squad from Alaska Athletics, traveled nearly 4,000 miles last month and nailed two perfect routines with zero deductions. They took first in their division and had the highest score overall. That huge win earned them a full paid bid to the world championship. For a smaller program from Alaska, this kind of success stands out big time. Folks from other states were stunned to see an Alaska team dominate. Athletes and families kept saying how cool it was that they came from up north, calling it Hidden Talent no one expected. The secret behind their edge is intense training seven days a week. They keep going until every routine hits just right. Building a tight team mentality where letting down your teammates is the last thing anyone wants. Now Black Ice heads to the UCA National Championship in Orlando this week, ready to chase that world title after nine straight days of back-to-back practices.
