For the first time in school history, the Juan Diego SilverLine drill team won consecutive region titles. This year, they won the Region 13 championship Jan. 21, sweeping the Military, Dance and Show.
Two weeks later, the squad placed third at state with a second place finish in Military and third-place showings in Dance and Show Feb. 4 at Utah Valley University.
“We are so proud of our girls’ progress this year and how far they have come,” said head coach Jaydee Lester. “We put everything out on the floor and danced the best we ever have. We as coaches are so proud of the girls and all their hard work. It was amazing to have the opportunity to compete.”
Those on the 2021-22 team are captains Caitlyn Bath and Kambree Guest, co-captain Izzy Bonacci and drill president Kaylynne Ransom along with Sinai Barba, Ella Devir, Rachee Hatch, Josie Jewkes, Lily Martin, Sam Martinez, Sophie Moreno, Danielle Pozzi, Miranda Rice, Simone Nicolodemos, Emma Sharpley, Ella Schorlemmer, Iris Silva, Mia Silva and Corinne Simao.
Lester was assisted by Maddy Gough and Gentry Stevenson on the coaching staff this season.
“We are so proud of this season, in making Juan Diego history,” Lester said.
