Dancers honored included Beyonce Gonzalez, Emma Stika, Lindsey Oblea, Maria Izquierdo, Marielena Ramirez, Sarah Vaughn, Nubia Torres, Macie Mosher, Sierra Shore-Newton, Claire Southward and Shelby De La Cruz.
Basketball cheerleaders earning All-Academic honors from the RRC included Maria Izquierdo, Claire Southward, Nubia Torres and Cindy Troung, with similar honors earned by wrestling cheerleaders Rylynn Gilmore, Angela Hernandez, Shelby De La Cruz, Jasmine Shriver, Carly Herrera, Jacqueline Guardado, and Eliza Cunningham.
The wrestling cheer squad also earned a Distinguished Academic Achievement Award for a cumulative team GPA of at least 3.25, while the basketball cheerleaders garnered an Academic Excellence Achievement Award for a team GPA of 3.0-3.24.
