A year ago, Westosha Central became three-peat Southern Lakes Conference champions, in addition to winning its regional along with another state title.

Overall, the Lady Falcons have notched three consecutive state titles by the sports sanctioning body, the Wisconsin Association of Cheer and Poms Coaches .

Westosha Central won the regional title in March at Wilmot.

For the national contest, which was in January, Westosha Central garnered a seventh place finish among 12 Division 2 qualifying schools that reached the final round.
