The Team USA All-Girl Cheer Team, which includes Hawai‘i Pacific University cheerleaders Lauren Loeb, Emily Myers, Savanna Sibley, Heather Turner, Chelsey Kannan, Stephanie Bibby, Brittany Barry, and Ashley Lewis, took first place world title at the 2010 International Cheer Union (ICU) World Championship in Orlando, Fla.
As Team USA’s contenders in the All-Girl Group Stunt competition, HPU’s All-Girl Stunt Group took first place. The stunt group consisted of Sibley, Myers, Loeb, and Turner.
“Winning the Gold for the All-Girl Premier was an amazing feeling,” Sibley said. “I can’t even begin to explain the emotions that were going through my head. This has not only been an experience of a lifetime but it is something I will carry with me as one of my greatest accomplishments. It consisted of a long and strenuous two weeks but now with it all said and done, it has been more than worth it.”
HPU Cheerleaders were specifically selected and invited to be part of the 24-member Team USA to represent the United States at the ICU World Championship. Cheerleaders from all over the U.S. are represented on Team USA. The ICU World Championship showcases the top cheerleaders from more than 60 nations from all continents.
