Being one of the quickest growing female sports according to USA cheer, STUNT has been at this school for four years. The STUNT team has played its most successful season so far, beating two teams they’ve never beat before, Rocklin and Liberty Ranch. They play anywhere from one to six games a week. Each game has four quarters, quarter one being partner stunts, second is pyramids and tosses, third is jumps and tumbling and fourth is a runthrough combining all three quarters. There are 18 routines the athletes have to memorize because of six different levels of routines, and they compete these routines in unison with the other team. The winner is the team that the judges felt had the cleanest routine.
