PSHS Cheer excels at CheerTime Athletics Camp 2025

Poland Seminary High School Cheerleaders attended Cheer Time Athletics Spirit Camp on June 11–13 in Niles, Ohio. Throughout the week, the girls learned new cheer, dance, and stunt material for the upcoming season. The Bulldogs came home victorious, earning two Elite Awards with ribbons, various individual accolades throughout the week, and, most importantly, team unity.

 

Individual certificates were awarded to Aliyana Broderick, Hailey Canfield, Aleah George, Margaux Mallory, Madison Medvec, Lilyanah Miller, Mia Peluso, and Mia Sciola for skills in dance, spirit, or stunt.

At the close of camp, all seniors were spotlighted with individual awards. Seniors include Hailey Canfield, Nina Kalouris, Melina Livosky, Margaux Mallory, Mia Peluso, Emma Puhl, and Julia Snyder, all showcasing great leadership. Each senior is invited to perform during the Liberty Bowl halftime show in Memphis, Tennessee.

Another individual award went to junior Amanda Ray, who was also selected to represent the PSHS Cheerleaders at the Liberty Bowl.

Cheer Time Athletics awarded the following individuals with the noted “All American” cheerleader title:
Seniors – Hailey Canfield, Nina Kalouris, Melina Livosky, Emma Puhl, Julia Snyder
Juniors – Samantha McKenzie, Lilyanah Miller
Sophomore – Lily Martin
Freshman – Aliyana Broderick

“All American” athletes are selected by CTA staff based on their observations of each athlete’s cheer talent, leadership, and character demonstrated throughout camp. “All American” cheerleaders selected from any of the CTA summer camps are invited to perform with the selected team both locally and nationally.

These young athletes have the opportunity to perform at a Cleveland Cavaliers game, a Cleveland Charge game, and a YSU Men’s Basketball game. In addition, the “All American” selectees are invited to perform with Spirit of America Productions during the Macy’s 2025 Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Furthermore, each All American is invited to perform during the Liberty Bowl on January 2, 2026, in Memphis, Tennessee.
