March 6, 2022 By Kara Kennedy

Stingray Allstars compete in Atlanta and Dallas.

Taylor and Kennedy Easterling of Canton, Georgia have been competing with The Stingray Allstars of Marietta, Georgia competition cheerleading teams since elementary school. Their teams have competed and placed in the Summit Championships throughout the years. However, what makes 2022 so special is that in February, these sisters won two National Championship titles back-to-back.

They won the first championship at the Cheersport Nationals, one of the most prestigious all-star events in the country, in Atlanta, Georgia Feb. 19-20.  The following weekend they traveled to Dallas, Texas for the National Cheerleaders Association, National Championship event.  The NCA event hosted over 26,000 athletes and cheer teams from 42 states and four countries.
