The Enumclaw High cheer squad captured top honors and brought home a championship trophy from the Feb. 6-7 state cheer competition.

Operating under the umbrella of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, the event brought together teams – both large and small – from throughout Washington.

They gathered at Battle Ground High School for two days of assorted competition.

The Enumclaw High squad took first place in the 2A/3A “tumbling small” category, climbing to the top of a field that included the likes of Bellevue, Ferndale, Selah and Monroe.

White River: Also competing at the state championships was the White River crew, which squared off in the 1A/2A/3A “Game Day Medium” division.

The Buckley-based team placed fourth, trailing first-place Eastside Catholic, second-place Liberty of Issaquah and third-place River Ridge.
