Franklin Pompon Kicks Off Season with Grand Champion Trophies and Eyes on High Kick Title 🏆

Dominance at Summer Camp

The teams wasted no time establishing themselves as frontrunners during the Mid American Pompon Summer Camp in late June. Both the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams achieved remarkable success, securing Grand Champs trophies along with a sweep of first-place finishes in core categories:

• 1st place in speed learning
• 1st place in kickline
• 1st place in original routine

Additionally, the Varsity team received the prestigious Showmanship Award and earned 2nd place in Senior Kick. This impressive haul of awards highlights the depth of talent and cohesive execution across both squads.

Focus on High Kick Championship

Now, the focus has sharpened to the upcoming Mid American Pompon High Kick Championship on Sunday, November 2nd, at the Dort Financial Center in Flint. With the competition less than three weeks away, Coach Petrovich notes the team is "hard at work, staying grounded and putting in the hard work as we lead up to competition."

The teams are channeling their energy into steady preparation and consistent improvement as they aim for another successful showing in the high-stakes environment of the championship.

Leadership Driving Success

A significant part of the team's preparation and culture is being driven by the four newly named Varsity captains:

• Carley Shiner
• Mya Rigley
• Kaia Ward
• Riley Kirk

Coach Petrovich praised the captains, noting they've been "stand-out leaders for us since they were freshmen." These four athletes now have the crucial opportunity to guide the team toward a road of success. They play a key role in setting the tone for preparation by modeling the Franklin M.A.D.E. mindset daily, ensuring the entire squad maintains focus and intensity as they approach competition day.
