Waukon High School cheerleading trio selected to perform at All-Star event ...

The members of the Waukon High School cheerleading squad pictured at right were chosen by the Iowa Cheer Coaches Association All-Star cheerleaders directors and choreographer to perform as part of the 2018 Iowa All-Star Team, being selected to cheer at the Iowa High School All-Star basketball games held at Dallas Center Grimes High School Saturday, March 24. In January of this year, Waukon High School cheerleading coaches Amy and Lexie Bieber recorded try-out videos for the All-Star selection process consisting of the girls doing a short cheer, a short dance routine (4, 8 counts) and a toe touch. The coaches also wrote recommendations and skills levels for each of their skills.

The girls selected for the All-Star Team were sent a video of the dances and cheer to learn before they arrived at the All-Star event, where they met the other nearly three dozen girls and boys selected for the All-Star weekend from schools all over the state of Iowa. All day Friday prior to the All-Star basketball event the girls learned a full routine to perform Saturday at halftime of all four of the All-Star basketball games played. All the participants were recognized, and after the last performance participants were further recognized with awards. Waukon High School freshman Allie Bieber was picked for the Iowa All-Tournament Team.
