This is the fourth year the UHSAA has sanctioned competitive cheer as a sport.

North Summit won two of the three categories (dance, performance), beating runner-up North Sevier for the second consecutive year. Gunnison Valley finished third.

“What really led to a fourth state championship was the culture that was created within the program. Everybody bought in, everybody did their job, everybody looked out for each other. They’re a special group and deserve a fourth straight,” said North Summit coach Whittney Rasmussen, the head coach of all four state championships.

North Summit’s assistant coaches are Jaci Berman and Lexi Steneck.

Parowan was another 2A girls champion, taking first place in cheerleading.

Duchesne High School finished fourth in the coed division a year ago but made a huge leap in 2026, winning its first state championship. Beaver finished second, followed by South Sevier in third.

The Eagles took first place in the performance category and second place in the dance and cheer categories.

“This team is special because they have overcome obstacles together. We have faced a lot of adversity this year, both as players and coaches, but we have never wavered in our commitment to each other or to our goals,” Duchess coach Cammie Rose said.

“This championship is the result of resilience, trust and belief in the process. Being a part of our school’s first state cheerleading championship and sharing it with other amazing coaches in the state who have supported us, helped us grow and become close friends makes this win so meaningful.”

Rose’s assistant coaches are Morgan Fabrizio and Makenzi Rhodes.
