CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The Storm competed in the 2025 A-R-C Competitive Cheer and Dance competition during the weekend and came home with some impressive results and one all-conference member.
In the hip-hop and pom categories for dance, the Storm took home fifth place, defeating Coe in both of the competitions. In the pom routine, Simpson narrowly missed a fourth place finish, just a couple of points behind Nebraska Wesleyan. The Storm took fifth in the jazz results as well, only a point off of fourth place behind Wartburg. In the game day cheer results, the Storm came in fourth place, falling under Luther College.
The highlight of the day was two of the Storm being named to all-conference. Sophomore Mika Anderson was named to the second-team all-conference.
