On January 24, 2026, the Arrowhead Hawkettes Varsity Dance Team qualified for the Wisconsin Association of Cheer and Pom Coaches (WACPC) Varsity Dance Competition. They are taking all three dance categories—Pom, Jazz, and Hip hop—to State at the La Crosse Center this weekend. They placed fourth in Pom, fifth in HipHop, and sixth in Jazz for Regionals.
This Friday, February 6, there will be a Hawk Walk celebrating the dancers starting at 9:15 a.m. at South Campus and around 9:32 a.m. at North Campus.
They have three soloists performing for State: Sydney Schneider, Gwen Guc, and Lauryn Indermuehle. They are performing Pom on Friday night and Jazz and Hip Hop on Saturday.
“We haved worked really hard to get where we are now,” Alicia Payne, junior, said. “State is one of our favorite parts of the year because it is so much fun and it is basically our last time together as a team because the seniors are leaving.”
Good luck at State Hawkettes!
