The Crookston Pirate Varsity and JV Dance teams opened up their season at the first kick competition of the year in Brainerd on Saturday. Going into it we knew it would be tough.
The JV finished third place with a phenomenal performance, placing for the first time. Adalyn Hanson, Brea Lessard, Isley Machado, Evelyn Gunderson, Madalyn Hanson, Kendra Brekken, Brittyn Sanders. The team is coached by Raegan Sargent.
Varsity did not place in the top 3. The varsity team members are Morgyn Larson, Avery Trudeau, Caden Sanders, Kalea Luckow, Mackenzie Funk, Kendra Brekken, Mady Knutson, Calleigh Fanfulik, Makenna Kopecky, Avery Mathews, Leila Bautista. The team is coached by Grace Espinosa.
“This is the earliest competition we’ve done. It was all AA/AAA teams except us and one other team,” said Crookston Coach Grace Espinosa. “We really were just going for the experience and to check out the AA and AAA teams we don’t get to see.”
The Pirate Dance team will be back in action on Frazee on December 1.
Bottom L to R: Evelyn Gunderson, Madalyn Hanson, Kendra Brekken, Brittyn Sanders.
