KAMLOOPS – The Thompson Rivers WolfPack cheerleading team made sure to end their 2023-24 season with a bang last weekend, as they earned a pair of first-place finishes at the Sea to Sky Championships.
 
Competing in both University Gameday and University Premier Small Co-ed, TRU took home first place honours in both categories.
 
Scoring 72.4250 for premier, TRU defeated the UBC Thunderbirds en route to claiming the title.
 
"Premier showcased strength in tumbling and technical execution across the board," said WolfPack head coach Meaghan Blakely. "This, alongside executing a perfect routine with zero deductions on Sunday made for a great weekend."
 
The gameday crew earned a score of 72.2084 to finish first place and wrap up a nearly flawless season.
 
"Gameday had a storybook end to their season," said Blakely. "The team hit zero both days, putting the finishing touches on an entire season of executing their routine perfectly with zero deductions all year."
 
A young team that featured 21 rookies and just 10 veterans, the 'Pack showed well at competitions throughout the entire season – including participating in the first-ever Canadian Collegiate Cheer Championships in February.
 
"This has shown a remarkable start to a new chapter for the program, and has set the foundation for a competitive season ahead for the team," said Blakely.
