When athletics is spoken of, one must be careful not to exclude the dedicated work and support that dance and cheer teams bring to each and every game they attend. 

The Spring Woods dance team travels constantly as they dance at as many athletic events as possible. In many cases, the girls extend their practices and even hold additional practices in order to be fully prepared for each event. 

This year’s squad has four captains: Maribel Cuevas (Sr.), Maricruz Freyre (Sr.), Marilyn Ownby (Jr.), and Sonia Sarmiento (Sr.).

Despite any lack in recognition they might receive, the Tigers dance team is dedicated to encouraging their athletic department.

“Even if no one is there at an away game to see our team, we are there to support them” Sarmiento commented.

“Every year is different because every squad is different, but we work hard no matter what because we love to cheer our teams and lift them up” Cuecas said.

The love of dance and encouragement is quite evident in the eyes of the girls.  Notable dancers include Sarahi Canta and Stephanie Portillo. 

Thank you Spring Woods dancers for your work and dedication towards encouraging your fellow athletic teams.
