Robert Toombs Christian Academy’s Varsity and Middle School Cheerleading Competition teams competed on November 23^rd in Americus for the GISA State title. The Middle School Competition team won the GISA State title to make them Back to Back State Champions. The Varsity Competition team performed their best routine of the season and finished the season with three first place wins. For the All-State team, over 60 girls from across the state tried out for the team. The selection is based on a cheer component, jumps, and tumbling skills. Only 16 girls were selected and RTCA is proud to announce that two girls made the team. Freshman Mary-Claire Wolfe and senior Samantha Threlkeld were selected to be a member of the GISA All-State Cheerleading team. The teams have added 16 trophies, including 2 State Championships to the trophy case at RTCA in the last two seasons.
