But the team didn't stop there. They also participated in the crowd run-offs, where they had to compete against other top-performing teams. Their unwavering determination and extraordinary teamwork paid off once again, as they emerged victorious and secured their spot in the final round. 
 
In the rally segment, the team continued to impress. Their spirited chants, intricate formations, and impressive tumbling passes left the audience in awe. Although they faced fierce competition, the cheer team's unwavering enthusiasm and flawless execution earned them a well-deserved second-place finish.

This prestigious bid is a testament to their talent and serves as an invitation to compete at the national level against the best cheer teams from across the country.
