HASTINGS, Neb. – The Concordia University cheer and dance teams went to nearby Hastings, Neb., while competing in the 2019 GPAC Cheer & Dance Championships on Saturday (Feb. 9). The Bulldogs placed in a tie for sixth in dance (59.17) and seventh in cheer (56.58). The GPAC features seven cheer and eight dance squads.

The GPAC championships marked the fourth invite this season for head coach Mandi Maser’s squads. A week earlier, the Bulldogs hosted the Concordia Invitational, which was the largest cheer and dance event ever hosted on campus. Concordia has also gone up against Doane and Morningside in dual meets. Maser’s teams are captained by junior Annie Pico (Mesa, Ariz.) for cheer and sophomore Kalina Schoenfeld (Carroll, Iowa) for dance.

Next up on the competition schedule is the NAIA North Regional Qualifier in Fremont, Neb., on Saturday, Feb. 22.
