The McCluer High School Pommies proved once again why they are ranked among the area’s best dance teams during recently held state dance championships. The Pommies competed in the Missouri State Dance Team Championships (Division 3A) and placed first in the “Prop” category with their “Clean Up Mix” routine. The Pommies also placed third in the “Kick” category with their “New Attitude” routine.
Coached by McCluer staffers, Rega Wesley-Stewart and Jackie Allen, the Pommies have consistently ranked among the top teams in state competitions.
In addition to the team honors, individual Pommies were also recognized for their academic success during the state competition. Lauren Peterson and Elyse Frazier received certificates and medals for maintaining cumulative grade point averages (GPA) of 4.0. Samantha Hobson, Bria Caldwell, Shanna Whitley, Daya Clinton and Sherell Kent received certificates for their cumulative GPAs of 3.5-3.9.
“I am proud of the girls and their performances,” said Coach Rega Wesley-Stewart. “They worked hard, and I am glad to see that their hard work has paid off.”
