“Having competed at this competition before we felt semi-ready to compete on Feb. 25. However, we did not expect to see the overwhelming amount of talent from both our competition and ourselves,” Kaylin Peters, Sky Dancer officer, commented. “After a hard football season, we looked forward to contest season with a new vigor and after this great win on Saturday, we are even more excited to continue to push ourselves to perform the best we possibly can.”
