SEWARD, Neb. – It was another record setting day for Concordia University Competitive Cheer, which turned in a new program standard while competing at the Dordt Invite on Saturday (Feb. 18). The Bulldogs were rewarded with a score of 82.38 at the competition and placed second out of six teams. The other schools present at the invite were Dordt, Hastings, Midland, Mount Marty and Morningside.
Head Coach Mandi Maser’s squad is putting forth its best efforts at just the right time. Concordia was able to outperform the 82.03 it scored a week earlier at the York University Crown Classic.
“The team did amazing today,” Maser said. “We dug deep to hit all of the sequences. The team pulled together to make sure and perform their best. All of them really demonstrated true devotion to their teammates and we are really proud of them.”
