We are #McCrackenProud of the Dance Team! The Stangettes had incredible success at NDA Camp (July 17-20) at the St. Louis College of Pharmacy, the largest NDA camp of the summer with over 400 dancers. They had four dancers selected as All Americans: Addi Dover, Makella Tate, Waverly Watson, and Owen Hibbs. Waverly Watson was awarded the prestigious TOP All American honor, the highest accolade given at camp. This singular award recognizes outstanding technical excellence and exceptional leadership skills, and we're proud to say it was earned by one of our own Mustangs! Additionally, Waverly was invited to apply to become an NDA Staff member, a significant honor. The Stangettes currently have two McCracken Alumni, Reese Pohle and Lexi Crass, serving on the NDA Staff. The team earned Silver in Team Leader (Makella Tate, Addi Dover, and Waverly Watson) and Silver in Elite Team Dance. The Stangettes have seven rookies this year and being second out of 22 Elite teams from around the country is amazing!
