STORM HONORS ROCKCASTLE COUNTY
HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS
Senate Resolution adopted recognizing accomplishments
FRANKFORT, KY (Feb. 28, 2024) — On Wednesday, Sen. Brandon Storm, R-London, welcomed the Rockcastle County High School (RCHS) cheerleading team into the Senate Chambers at the state Capitol, recognizing their outstanding achievements during the 2023-2024 season with Senate Resolution 183 (SR 183).
RCHS Cheerleaders, under the guidance of Coach Joanie Lake, had an exceptional season that culminated in a national title at the 2024 National High School Cheerleading Championship in the Super Large DII Non-Tumbling Game Day Division.
Throughout the season, the RCHS Cheerleaders demonstrated their skill and dedication, placing as the runner-up in the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) Cheer Region 6 Competition and earning a fifth-place finish in the KHSAA State Cheer Championship. Additionally, they competed in the United Cheerleader Association's Bluegrass Regional competition, securing sixth place overall and earning a spot at the prestigious National High School Cheerleading Championship in Orlando, Florida.
At the national championship, the RCHS Cheerleaders made a remarkable appearance in two divisions. In the Medium DII Non-Tumbling Traditional Division, they finished in third place. At the same time, in the Super Large DII Non-Tumbling Game Day Division, they proudly took home the title of National Champions.
Storm—and former Sen. of Rockcastle County before redistricting Jared Carpenter, R-Berea—and the Senate congratulate the RCHS cheerleaders and Coach Joanie Lake for their remarkable accomplishments. The resolution officially acknowledges and commends the team's dedication, passion, and outstanding performance throughout the 2023-2024 season.
SR 183 and the team's accomplishments will forever be cemented in the legislative record.
