GCHS dancers score another state title

    DES MOINES — For the third time in four years, the Grundy Center High School Dance Team has brought first-place hardware home from the state dance championships.
    Last Thursday the girls placed first in the Class IV Pom Division to take their second straight state cpom hampionship while also placing third in the Small School Military Division for the second year in a row. Team members include Sydney Hogle, Ally Jansen, Piper Johanns, Emilee Johnson, Dalyn Maxson, Chelsea McNeil, Kate Ross, Megan Salo and Alexa Strickler.
    “They are nothing short of amazing,” Coach Cara Doak said of her team.
    “These girls deserve everything that they received down there,” she said. “They’re really hard workers, they put a lot of time and effort each and every day to be successful. They just go down there and turn it on, they have so much energy, great smiles, they just hit what I ask them to hit.”
