Sask. cheerleaders make history after winning world title
History has been made by Rebels Cheerleading Athletics after they finished in first place at the Cheerleading Worlds in Orlando, FL Monday.
Smoke, the International Open All-Girl Level Five team beat out 26 groups from around the world to claim the title at the World Championship of All Star Cheerleading.

The other Regina gym, 306 Elite, finished in the 16th spot in the International Open Level Six category.
