On Saturday, April 25, the Lakeshore Elites All-Star cheer teams won two National first place trophies for a perfect ending to a great season at the Indy Cheer & Dance 500 National Championship hosted by CCE Cheer at the Indiana State Fair Grounds Champions Pavilion, Indianapolis.

The teams coached by Angela Colalillo, Penny Ballestero and Tammi Krayniak worked hard the past month and it showed. Along with the first place Level 2 and 3 Co-ed team finishes, partner stunt groups Jeff Michiaels and Madi Surber, and Tyler Moore and Ashley Tezak each won first place awards. Wrapping up the competition was Tyler Moore's Individual Routine which earned a second.

Lakeshore Elites All-Star Cheer has grown from 16 young men and women in two teams to almost 90 kids and five separate teams.

The kids come from all areas of Northwest Indiana including Chesterton, Michigan City, Portage, Valparaiso, LaPorte, and Crown Point. Boys and girls age 4-18 interested in joining the cheer teams should call Lakeshore at 219-926-4274 or visit the website at www.LSGYMCHEER.com
