Ninety participating elementary schools were vying for a chance to win a city championship in three classifications – small division, medium division, and large division competitions.
“CPS SCORE would like to thank all of our student competitors at this year’s championships,, and we were equally thrilled to have a record number of participating schools this season,” noted Ashlee Anderson, athletic program administrator for cheer for the CPS Office of Sports Administration.
