The Mepham High School cheerleading team had an exceptional 2024-25 season filled with milestones and triumphs. It was capped off with the squad clinching the Nassau County Class B championship on Feb. 16. 

This is a historic achievement for Mepham, marking a major milestone in the program's history.  

“In October, the squad made an impressive appearance at the Nassau County Championship for Game Day, showcasing their skill and determination,” noted Coach Ashely Yunker, who is also a special education teacher at Merrick Avenue Middle School. 

At the competitive Universal Cheerleaders Association’s Nationals in Orlando, FL, they placed 25th out of 97 teams in the Small Division 2. 

“These student athletes proved their strength among the best,” Yunker added.  

The team is now gearing up for their next challenge as they head to Binghamton on March 8 for the New York State Championship, aiming for the state title.
