The Texas Tech Co-Ed Cheer and Pom Squad saw success at the Pom and Cheer National Championships in Daytona Beach, Florida, with Co-Ed Cheer coming in second place and pom placing first in both pom and jazz.
Erin Alvarado, Tech Pom Squad head coach, said the teamâs wins feel even more rewarding since this past year was challenging due to COVID-19.
âWe went through so many changes, so many unknowns,â Alvarado said. âThis year, I feel like it was one of our best performances weâve ever done.â
The pom squadâs jazz dance was one of the hardest routines they have performed as it required a lot of technique, Alvarado said. The routine had 18 girls involved, which can make it challenging to dance at the same time.
