Rise Athletics: On Track to Compete in All Star Worlds for Fourth Consecutive Year

Rise Athletics from Great Falls is getting ready for their fourth consecutive appearance at the All Star World competition. This year, they will be sending all three of their elite teams to compete, marking a milestone for the program.

Rise Athletics started out with just two teams and rented space at a gymnastics gym in the early days of the program. Now, in their fifth season, they have grown to six teams with a record of regional championships, national titles, and appearances at world competitions. The youth and junior teams received at-large bids while the senior team secured a paid bid, covering their expenses for the competition.

Coach Emma McCarthy emphasized the significance of competing at the world level, highlighting the athletic aspect of cheerleading and the opportunity to showcase their skills as athletes. As the only competitive cheer team in Great Falls and the sole Montana team to receive a bid, Rise Athletics is proud to represent their town and state on a global stage.

The Rise Athletics teams have performed exceptionally well this year, winning major competitions and building confidence as they prepare for the world competition. They are excited to put their talent and hard work to the test at the All Star World competition taking place from April 18-21 in Orlando, Florida.
