The Kent Reporter is starting a program to highlight the athletes on the boys and girls sides.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
Every week, two athletes from different high schools will have their names and pictures printed in the Kent Reporter. We are excited to partner with the Kent School District to showcase local high school athletes in our area.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
To kick off the 2023 school year, we begin with a year-round team and showcase each school’s cheer team.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
Kentlake<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Kaia Bott, Isabella Braaflat, Jacee Dye-Ledbetter, Kaylee Guiles, Katie Hanna, Heather Hawley, Kierra Mondini, Leila Neidlinger, Peytin Newton, Isabella Rodriguez, Brooke Wilson.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t From the sidelines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t This small but mighty team is comprised of 11 team members. It has the passion, dedication and the talent to soar high this year on the sidelines, supporting our amazing Kentlake falcons football and basketball teams. The cheer team will appear not only on the sidelines, but on the competition mat as well. This team is laser focused and is excited to support everything Kentlake this year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t The team has really set their sights on some ambitious goals for this year, and has already crushed some of them early on by learning some new and difficult skills at UCA camp. The goal is to now perfect those new skills for the competition mat. Last year, Kentlake placed very high in regional competitions. The goal for this year is to beat our score last year at state and hopefully place within the top 3.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
