2009 UCA Cheer Camp at University of Georgia

The Fayette County High School varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders recently returned from cheerleading camp.  The camp, with over 800 participants from all over the state, was held at the University of Georgia in Athens and was administered by The Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA).  Both teams received 2nd place in their respective divisions for a Home Dance Routine that each of the teams prepared prior to the camp. The varsity team received 1st place in the cheer division of the camp championships and 1st place in the Extreme Routine championships. Four members of the varsity team were named UCA All Americans: Megan Anderson, Danielle Shaver, Cindy Nelson, and Niki Jenkins. Deshana Barnes, LaNay Laster, and Kelsie Stampley were named All Americans from the junior varsity team. Seniors Megan Anderson and Cindy Nelson were invited to tryout for positions with the UCA to instruct high school cheerleaders at camp next summer. The team was also voted upon by the camp participants to receive the coveted UCA Leadership Award which honors the one team of athletes at the camp that displays the most focus, leadership, sportsmanship, and all-around ability. The program is directed by Coach Darryl Lyons and Advisor Beth Amerson.
