HUSKIES CHEER
Recently, The Harrington Huskies Cheerleaders competed in the Pop Warner Henlopen Cheerleading Competition held in Salisbury Maryland at the Civic Center on October 11th, 2009. The Huskies had 3 teams place 1st in a division. Junior Pee Wee, Pee Wee and Midgets. This is the 4th year in a row for the Harrington Huskies Pee Wee Team as they have been Henlopen Conference Champions since 2006. This is quiet an accomplishment for a bunch of 9-14 year old girls!! After winning the Conference all 3 teams advanced to the Regional Sectionals in Trenton, NJ on October 24th, 2009. The Pee Wee’s placed 1st and the Midgets placed 2nd and our Juniors represented well but fell a little short! Now the 2 Harrington Pop Warner Teams are getting ready for Regional Championships in Trenton, NJ on November 22nd, 2009 in hopes for qualifying for Pop Warner Nationals in Walt Disney Florida. In order for the girls to make it to this prestigious event they must place in the top 2 in each of their divisions. The Midgets will compete in the Midget Small Intermediate Division and the Pee Wees will compete in the Pee Wee Small Intermediate Division. GO HUSKIES!
