2011 - Backwater Down Under

Show Director: Tagen Tipton with assistants Taryn Claver & Bob Schultz

Central Regional Tournament: 2nd place

National Tournament: 4th place

Team President: Randy Thompson

In 2011, our team continued to grow and became the largest it has ever been with over 140 members. The Horton family returned to the US from Perth, Australia to ski with us for the summer. In June, we successfully built a double-top four tier pyramid for the first time since 1999, which we continued to build successfully all season. We placed second at the Central Regional Tournament in Rockford, IL, with our 22 girl ballet line winning both Highest Scoring Ballet Line and Highest Scoring Act in the tournament. We finished in fourth place at the National Tournament in Janesville, WI and successfully pulled a 25 girl ballet line, which tied the previous national record for largest ballet line. The theme was 'Backwater Down Under'. The show director was Tagen Tipton, with assistant show directors Taryn Claver and Bob Schultz.
