Head Coach Jessica Covington says the teams' goal this season was to make it to nationals in Daytona and enter in both the Intermediate and Advanced divisions. This goal has come true for the team and you can watch them take the floor this weekend!

The strict restrictions in New Mexico have brought on a new normal for New Mexico. Coach Covington says the athletes showed incredible dedication and work ethic throughout the season despite having no games to cheer at this season. The team has taken the opportunity to develop skills to continue to be competitive in this intense division while continuing to be great ambassadors to both the New Mexico State Cheerleading program and the University.

"The perseverance that these incredible athletes have shown through such a difficult year is admirable and gives us so much pride in our program." -Jessica Covington

The Aggies are incredibly excited to be in Daytona after not being able to compete last year. It took most of their season to get approval from the University to compete this year and the athletes and staff never wavered in their dedication to being on the bandshell.
