The 2009 RHS Competition Cheerleaders placed 1st in Sideline Cheer at the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) Junior and Senior High Nationals on December 28, 2009, making them the first group in school history to do so! They also placed 2nd in Fight Song and 4th in Timeout Dance. The squad will be featured on Fox Sports Network and VarsityTV. After winning 1st place, they were asked to return for an encore performance for Fox Sports that will be shown in the spring. Seniors Hannah Wheeler and Lauren Fuller were interviewed by NCA and their interview is featured on nca.varsity.com, along with videos of all of Ruston's performances. Congratulations ladies! We are very proud of you!
