The team was also awarded an academic excellence trophy at the state level. Kaci Harper, Roxanna Johnson and Emily Trewin coach the team.

“The girls worked very hard on these routines and I couldn’t be prouder. These girls are truly more than just a team,” said Coach Harper. “This is the second year the girls have received trophies for the West Fork Dance Team and the girls are so excited bring them back to West Fork nation.”
