2005 NCHSAA Cheerleading Invitational

RALEIGH—Lake Norman High School won the super large varsity division in the third annual North Carolina High School Athletic Association state invitational cheerleading championships at Reynolds Coliseum on Saturday.

Lake Norman is the only three-time winner in the history of the event, having won the super large division title in every NCHSAA invitational. The super large varsity division is for squads of 22 or more members.

Raleigh Sanderson captured top honors in the super varsity division and took the inaugural Carolina Cup.

Cheer Ltd., Inc., one of the NCHSAA’s corporate partners that assists with the invitational championship, established the Carolina Cup to recognize annually the top high school varsity cheerleading team in the state. Sanderson won the Cup for earning the highest cumulative score in the whole competition among varsity teams, regardless of the division in which it competes.

Fayetteville Terry Sanford was the winner in the large varsity division and Misenheimer Gray Stone Day finished first among the varsity non-tumble squads.

In coed competition, Fayetteville Westover took first in the small varsity division and Eden Morehead won the large varsity division for the second straight year.

A total of 88 teams participated in the event.
