Tiana Schall and Hannah Kerr, Laurels in the B7 Ward Young Women’s Program and members of the Jetettes Drill Team, call Dixie High School’s “first ever” state championship win over dozens of 3A drill teams around the Beehive State “totally awesome,” “amazing,” and an event - which has never happened before in Jetette history - they will remember for the rest of their lives.

On Saturday, February 6 at Utah Valley University in Orem, the 24-member Jetettes drill team, who had already competed and won their regional competition, performed three 3-minute routines to beat out 16 other teams from around the state. 

Tiana, a senior and Hannah, a junior, both giddy with excitement, agree their grueling rehearsal schedule for the past two years has “all been worth it.”  Five days a week, the team assembles at 6 a.m. for 1 ½ - 2 1/2 hours of practice before the beginning of their school day.  During the summer months, Jetettes work out every day in preparation for their regularly scheduled performances as well as this 9-minutes of competition - an average of 15 hours a week for the entire year.

See their trophy winning performance on YouTube (Jetettes State Drill Competition 2016) and congratulations for this amazing accomplishment.
