High school competitive cheer: 5A, 4A state champions crowned in both all-girl and co-ed competitions

The second-ever UHSAA state competitive cheer competition is officially a wrap as the 4A and 5A classifications showed out on Friday at Utah Valley University.

This was the first year that all event categories were exclusively competed for in their own classifications with all teams being specifically 4A or 5A. Last season saw the 4A field split between a combined 3A/4A and a combined 4A/5A class, and the 5A All-Girl competitions took place alongside the 6A field.

Each classification, 4A and 5A, awarded a co-ed state championship as well as an all-girl state championship.

Wasatch, which didn’t place in the co-ed competition last season, took home the first solely designated overall 5A co-ed state championship. Salem Hills won its second straight all-girl state title in 5A.

It was a St. George sweep in 4A as Desert Hills unseated defending champion Snow Canyon with its first all-girls 4A state championship. Crimson Cliffs defended its previous 4A/5A state co-ed title with the first solely 4A co-ed state championship.
