"Going into Regionals, we were projected to place 3rd and ended up with 2nd place - so we were thrilled!," said Head Dance Coach Anna Luz. "Our preliminary performance was solid, but we had a few things to adjust before going into finals. The finals performance was one of our best of the whole season. Our team elements were spot on and our girls hit the choreography strong. Our primary goal all season has been to advance to Nationals, so we're anxious to hear the announcement tomorrow."
The teams advancing to nationals will be announced Sunday, February 26 at 5:00 p.m. CST. Follow viterboathletics.com or follow us on social media for updates.
