They considered the Kaneland Varsity squad to be at an elite level of stunts and cheers. The Kaneland squad learned new stunts including Liberty cradle catches, full twist cradle catches, basket tosses, ground up extensions with cradle catches, and partner stunts (chair, toss to hands).

Some squad members competed for the UCA All-star squad by performing cheers, dances, jumps, and tumbling.

Dunk Tank at Elburn Days

Cheerleaders enjoyed cheering as our Knights became the Class 3A State Championship!

Cheerleaders went "Truckin'" down to ISU with the football team for the State Championship game.

The fans knew it was "Our Knight to Shine".

Knights Fans benefited from the
generosity of local sponsors who
supplied many small pormotional
footballs. Krissy Stover is throwing
some into the stands.

Showing off their hard practice and daring talents between quarters of the sophomore basketball game, the squad performs double liberties with and "elevator" in the middle. Pumping up the guys before their game, Albrecht (top), based by Baum and Distler, leads the crowd in an "elevator along with the rest of the cheerleaders.

Keeping the fans entertained during the lapses of the game, the varsity climb to cheer on a victory with an extension, shoulder stand, and double base thigh stand.
Two "elevators" separated be a shoulder press.
