Cowley Spirit Squads bring home four titles
Competing on Sunday at the Cheer and Dance regionals in Newton, KS, the Cowley College Cheer and Dance teams dominated and brought home all four Region VI titles.
Cowley brought home championships in Advanced Large Co-ed Cheer, Team Performance, Hip Hop, and the Mascot division.
"What makes this sweep so special is the culture this team has built," Cowley head coach Holli Gurnee said. "They support each other, hold each other accountable, and show up ready to work every day. Winning Region VI titles across the board is exciting, but the character and leadership this group shows is what I am most proud of."
Tiger Cheer assistant Brandon Burke said this past weekend was a testament to the team's grit and the support of the entire campus community.
"I am incredibly proud of the sheer strength and perseverance our athletes displayed," Burke said. "What people saw on the floor this weekend was the result of months of relentless work. This program is built on overcoming challenges, and these athletes proved they are among the best."
Burke said it is a privilege to coach alongside Holli Gurnee, and the energy and focused determination the Tiger athletes brought to Region VI was unmatched.
Cowley will now turn its focus to the College Classic National Championship at the Orange County Convention Center, April 10–12, in Orlando, FL.
"The job isn't finished yet—we are carrying this momentum straight to the national stage," Burke said.
