The nationally ranked Hutchinson Community College Cheer Squad will perform its national routine with a “Nationals Preview Show” at 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Sports Arena.

The “National Preview Show” is open to the public and free of charge. Also performing will be the Iowa Western Community College Cheer Squad.

HCC’s national competition routine includes many skills that cannot be performed at basketball and football games.

This performance helps the cheerleaders prepare for the pressure of nationals, and more importantly allows the cheerleaders to show off their routine and abilities to the community. 

The HCC Cheerleaders leave April 9th for Daytona, Fla., where the team has received a partial-paid bid to attend the NCA College Championship competition. 

Six teams will compete at the NCA nationals in HCC’s division:  Kilgore College, TX, Barton County Community College; Weatherford College, TX; Navarro College, TX and Trinity Valley Community College, TX. 

These schools represent the best in college cheerleading in the junior college co-ed division. 

Butler Community College and Iowa Western will also be competing at the College Championship in the Co-ed Intermediary Division and Kansas State University will be competing in the Division I competition. 

Portions of the competition will be broadcast on Fox SportsNet April 26th.
