Junior High: Addysyn Kinion, Addy Lemon, Destiny Wisecarver and Naomi Wisecarver Varsity: Dovie Johnstone, Makaelynn Wood, Kirsten Williams and Dayka Lock All-American cheerleaders possess exceptional cheerleading skills, such as stunts, jumps, and tumbling. They showcase technical proficiency and a high level of competence. All-American cheerleaders are often noted for their leadership qualities, both on and off the mat.
