After months of daily workouts that culminated in a four-minute performance in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Lewiston high School cheerleaders are taking a well-earned rest.

Ten members of the all-female LHS squad traveled to Nashville last week for the 1985 International Open Cheerleading Championships. Although the team failed to make the finals, coach Anita Murphy described its preliminary performance at St. Cecelia’s Academy as “flawless.” More than 260 high school squads from throughout the United Sates competed.
