          GEORGE JENKINS HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADING CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ROSS SPANO

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 25, 2020

  Mr. SPANO. Madam Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the George 
Jenkins High School Cheerleading team for their championship 
performance at the state competition in Gainesville, Florida.
  George Jenkins High School cheerleaders won their first state title 
while competing in the Medium Non-Tumbling Division and beating second 
place by 4.6 points.
  Not only was this the first state title for the school in 
cheerleading, but just the fourth time George Jenkins High School has 
captured a title in any sport.
  Prior to this, the Jenkins squad had never made it to the finals. 
However, their strong preparation, passion, and unwavering commitment 
to one another were instrumental in their victory.
   The Jenkins cheerleading squad was led by their head coach Nashan 
Davis, who, after winning the title, held back tears in stating, ``The 
coaches gave them the tools and they went out there and did their job 
today.''
   Congratulations once again to the George Jenkins Cheerleading team 
and on their title. They earned it and deserved it, and I look forward 
to seeing them defend it next year.

                          ____________________
