Kamehameha cheerleaders win title
The Kamehameha Schools varsity cheer team added a national title to its collection, and didn’t have to go far to celebrate at Walt Disney World.
The Warriors won the 2015 Universal Cheerleaders Association Game Day National Championship in the medium division at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., on Sunday evening.
Under the direction of coach Melissa Wennihan, the Warriors’ 14-member squad repeated as champions after claiming gold in the small division last year.
