Happy New Year! 2008 was a great year for the Torrents. Following its formation in March, the team jogged, cartwheeled, jumped, crunched, and stunted into shape to become a full competitive team with many successes throughout the year. See the photos below for some highlights! In 2008, the Torrents aim to get bigger and better, and will as a team and individually improve on all aspects of cheerleading - fitness, flexibility, stunting, tumbling, jumping, general attitude and spirit. Fitness training for 2008 has already started in preparation for coach Sandford returning in late January from his trip home to the US. If you are interested in trying out or training with the Torrents email us at uqtorrents@gmail for details!
