Airport's competitive cheerleaders won the second Huron League jamboree of the season to strengthen its bid for a second straight league title.
NEWPORT – It’s been a challenging start to the season for Airport’s competitive cheerleading team.
“We had two big injuries,” coach Emily Dusik said. “It was a rough December with that and flu and illness.”
Dusik struggled to figure out a lineup at times.
But, through it all, the Jets kept winning.
Now, Airport is on track to repeat as Huron League champions after winning a league jamboree at Jefferson on Wednesday, Jan. 21.
“We’ve just rolled with the changes,” Dusik said.
The Jets finished with 771.04 points Wednesday, including 314.1 in the third round.
Grosse Ile was second with 759.78 followed by Flat Rock with 728.92, Riverview with 717.18, New Boston Huron with 708.78 and Jefferson with 684.56.
“We performed well,” Dusik said, whose team fell 3 points shy of its season-best score.
