Cheerleaders Ready For Sports To Return In San Juan Capistrano

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA — It's been a lot of practice with little to show for the cheerleaders of St. Margaret's Episcopal High School in San Juan Capistrano.

The cheer squad will be at the sidelines of the Tartan Girls Soccer Game on Friday, March 12, and will also appear at competitions throughout the spring following a return to sports, according to a recent release.

It's been almost a year since high school student-athletes, cheer, and members of other clubs have been able to do anything but practice or have Zoom meetings. At St. Margarets, the cheerleaders are getting close to perfect, according to Coach Kylie Middlebrook. The squad filmed their routine to share with friends, fans and family.

"The whole team has continued to put in the hard work and effort, all in hopes of getting a chance to cheer on the Tartans!" Middlebrook wrote in a recent release. "We are so excited!"
