PARK CITY, Utah — On Wednesday, 87 girls, grades one through six, participated in the annual cheer clinic at the Park City High School. The high school squad members led the clinic.

The squads will cheer for football, volleyball, boys and girls basketball, and wrestling this year.

Miners cheer coach Jaime York told TownLift, “The best part of being a cheerleader are the friendships and the opportunities for service and leadership. They’re learning skills that they will be able to use their whole lives. This is an amazing group of girls!”

They may compete in their sport competition, but that decision is still being discussed. If they do, the first competition is the first weekend in December.
