The Black Diamond All-Stars cheerleading and dance teams have brought home more than numerous first-place trophies; they’ve put numerous personal accomplishments on the agenda.

The Sparkle, Shimmer, Dazzle, Bling and Brilliance teams gave it their all at every competition. Strength, agility, skill and love of the sport are required at every moment on the competition floor, and that’s exactly what these athletes gave.

In their most recent competition, held at UC Davis, the Diamonds took home top honors in several categories. As the season comes to a close, the All-Stars take aim at one more regional competition in Sacramento and then proceed to Nationals in Las Vegas in February. Signups for the 2012-13 season are now underway.
