On Friday, February 3, 2012, the MMHS Ellevés competed in the State 4A Drill Team Competition held at UVU. There were fifteen 4A schools competing. The Ellevés placed 4th in the character category.
In the dance category, Maple Mountain received a penalty for being out of bounds. Had this not of happened, the Ellevés would have received 3rd place in the dance category. Overall, the Ellevés would have been 4th, but because of the lower placement in dance because of the penalty, Maple Mountain ended up 7th overall.
Three Ellevés were also named to the 4A All-State Dance Team—Kaitlynn Blood, daughter of Jason and Kim Blood; Aubrey Finch, daughter of Ryan and Jerri Ann Finch; and Makayla Wilson, daughter of Darrin and Nancy Wilson. Each 4A team sent three girls to learn a routine that they auditioned in front of judges and then 20 girls were selected as the 4A All-State Dance Team. Maple Mountain was one of three schools who had all three of their girls make the team!
The Ellevés had two girls place in the 4A Drill Down. Neisha Martinez, daughter of Craig and Shantelle Martinez placed 2nd in the drill down and Hailey Bishop, daughter of Leslee Adamson and Ray Bishop placed 3rd in the drill down.
The Ellevés would like to thank all of the students, parents, administration, and fans who came to state. We really appreciate all of your support this year!
