Our summer schedule for this year included a trip to the LasVegas as well as a trip to the Nike National Event in Tennessee.

The ladies grabbed 1st place in the Red Division at the prestigious Nike Event and earned the right and opportunity for various other exposure opportunities due to their fine showing.The girls will go on to compete in the Chicago land during the open viewing period in October to finish up the 2010 summer/fall season.
