On Wednesday, the Valentine High School Dance Team was honored by hanging two new banners from the rafters of the VHS gym. They joined the ranks of wrestling, basketball football and other activities with a championship banner and a state runner up banner. For the first time in the school’s history the Valentine Badger dance team won the State Championship in C2/D jazz and 2nd in C2 Pom at Nebraska State High School Dance Championships in Grand Island on February 21. The teams beat out 17 others to get the Runner Up trophy in Pom - a very large category. They were awarded an academic award for their cumulative GPA of 3.9. This team was led by Coach Amy Arganbright and consists of Seniors Candece Swanson and Jenalee Garwood, Sophomores Katelyn Bitner and Rylee Wackler, and Freshmen Danika Janssen, Addison Stec, and Haddison Mundorf.
