Awesome Athletics Platinum Panthers Reach for The Summit at Disney World

Every year All Star Cheer teams around the United States compete to win a bid to the only true all-star national championship there is for cheer. Much like the SuperBowl, the Summit is where only the best of the best can advance. Only 10% of teams in the country will get an invite; only those with enough potential to win qualify.

On November 23rd, 2014 at the UCA Regional’s Competition Eagle Pass’s own Platinum Panthers from Awesome Athletics was awarded one of only 2 Summit Wild Card Bids awarded that day out of approximately 50 teams that day at the competition. The Platinum Panthers are 1 of 14 teams from the entire United States selected to compete on May 1st for The Summit Wild Card Round representing the Small Gym Junior division (ages 14 and under). Thus, only 14 Junior 2 teams from small gyms were deemed good enough to walk on the ESPN stage in Orlando on May 1st .

We are proud to be the first and ONLY team in Eagle Pass to be deemed a contender to reach the top of The Summit. Teams from around the country will be battling it out to reach the top and claim the title. Cheer Director Ana Montemayor beamed with pride in her athletes. “This is one of those experiences that comes only once in a lifetime. Our athletes have been working hard and have overcome various obstacles as we prepare for The Summit. We are beyond proud of them.” The Platinum Panthers are: Myranda Almaguer, Kalista Espinoza, Karyme Flores, Alexia Gaitan, Amy Galvan, Claudia Garza, Aylin Gonzalez, Belen Olivarez, Ayleen Rivas, Leslie Rodriguez, Maranda Sanchez, Ember Sandoval, Paola Sarabia, and Valerie Serano.
