TAYLORSVILLE — Bruin Arena at Salt Lake Community College was packed to capacity Monday, not to see the defending-national champion SLCC men’s basketball team or for the NBA D-League’s Salt Lake City Stars, but to cheer on those who make cheering a sport. Utah Cheer Club Sport held its fifth annual state competition with representation from 57 of the organization’s 62 squads. This year, the turnout and level of competition raised the bar to new heights. “We are so excited about how far we’ve come in just five years," said Lori Rupp, director for Utah Cheer Club Sport. "It was a packed house.” Cheerleading does not fall under the umbrella of the UHSAA and is considered a club-sport. With the squads being expected to participate at all of its school’s sporting events, finding time to gather together for an in-state competition can be difficult, but Rupp said she was pleased with how it all worked out. Below are the results of the competition, including All-State and Coach of the Year recognitions that were awarded for the first time this year. Junior high schools were also invited to compete. 2017 Utah State Cheer Competition FINAL RESULTS Division Category Place School 3A SIDELINE/TIMEOUT DANCE 2nd Bear River 1st Richfield 4A SIDELINE/TIMEOUT DANCE 2nd Bountiful 1st Woods Cross 5A SIDELINE/TIMEOUT DANCE 1st Herriman 3A SONGLEADING/POM 2nd Snow Canyon 1st Richfield 4A SONGLEADING/POM 3rd Skyline 2nd Hillcrest 1st Wasatch 5A SONGLEA
