Cicero-North Syracuse Winter Cheer Captures Third Straight Class A Crown; Five Section III Squads Advance to State Championships

Cicero-North Syracuse cemented its dynasty on the mat Saturday, securing its third consecutive Section III Class A championship and highlighting a day that saw four other local programs claim sectional titles. The Northstars’ streak underscores the program’s sustained excellence as the competitive cheer season now pivots to the statewide stage.

Joining Cicero-North Syracuse in the march toward March’s New York State Competitive Cheer Championships will be four additional Section III representatives, bringing the total contingent to five squads vying for state honors. While the article accompanying a 96-photo gallery did not specify which schools rounded out the championship field, the collective success signals a banner winter for central New York cheer.

With sectional trophies now in hand, the focus shifts to preparation for the state meet, where Section III hopes to translate regional dominance into medals on the sport’s biggest New York platform.
