What it reported doing in 2024

The team finished the year by meeting several goals. We finished in the top 3 at the State Championships for mid-size teams. We were represented at the Junior National Championships in the winter in Texas and California in the summer. We also competed in the western sectionals in Texas and Oregon. We graduated 5 seniors who are attending college this Fall. Our team size dropped over the summer but has picked back up again. We are recruiting to grow to 150 members. We have great volunteers and community support to help us going forward.
