Two MCS Competition Cheer Teams have won their bid to the National High School Cheerleading Championship at Disney this weekend. Thirty-three students from across the district have trained, fundraised and cheered their way to the national championship scheduled for February 8-10. The MCS teams will perform in the Junior and Youth Rec Finalist Division.

This is the second year that Murfreesboro City Schools has sponsored a district cheer team and their second year to win a bid to nationals.  Thirty-three students from across the district have trained throughout the school year.  The team comprised of students from 1stthrough 6th grade is led by coaches Jessica Jacobs, Amber Kelly, Megan Brewer and Taylor Sams.
