From Faribault, Minn.: A high school cheerleading team made history by competing in its first hearing competition. The team, from the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf, performed in a cheerleading competition in January. This marked a new experience for the team, which has previously competed in deaf-specific competitions. Team members enjoy the sport, with one noting a fondness for stunts and another finding cheerleading to be a new and enjoyable activity. The team has been active since the 1940s and has opened up opportunities for its members to try new things.

Further details about the team's experience in the hearing competition are available from the source.
