Whitsunday Allstars Shine At AASCF QLD State Championships

The Whitsunday Allstars delivered an outstanding performance at the AASCF Queensland State Championships, showcasing talent, teamwork, and dedication.

The Youth Snowflakes impressed with a strong routine, securing second place in their division. The Senior Heat put on a well-executed performance, narrowly missing a place, but showing spirit and determination throughout. The Junior Storm achieved an incredible third place finish, were crowned Grand Level 1 Champions, and also managed to hit zero – meaning no deductions were taken from their routine. This is an exceptional accomplishment that only a select few teams achieve, making it a particularly proud moment for the athletes.

Cheerleading is a true team sport built on trust and precision. Bases demonstrate strength and reliability while holding flyers high in the air, and every athlete relies on one another to perform safely and successfully. Alongside stunts, the athletes showcased impressive tumbling passes that added energy, difficulty, and flair to their routines. Beyond the technical skills, the Allstars continue to develop lasting friendships and strong bonds, creating a supportive environment that unites athletes of all ages.

Each athlete demonstrated commitment and resilience, with countless hours of training leading up to the competition. Coaches Tommy and Chez praised the athletes for their effort, teamwork, and passion both on and off the mat.

The Allstars’ season is set to continue, with their next competition being the Infinite Cheer Comp in Townsville in just over a month. Looking further ahead, the club has a potential national bid on the horizon for 2026, marking an exciting goal for the athletes to work towards.

A huge thank you goes out to the sponsors from the Whitsunday community, whose generous support and kind donations made this opportunity possible. The club also extends their gratitude to everyone who purchased chocolates and doughnuts during fundraising efforts, as every contribution helped the athletes get to the championship stage.

The Whitsunday Allstars continue to make their region proud, building momentum for future competitions and inspiring younger athletes in the community
