Little Rock Christian Academy has something to cheer about. Ann Claire Cook, competing with more than 100 young women, recently won one of four open spots on the University of Arkansas cheerleading squad.

Ann Claire, 18, graduated from LRCA this spring and is the only Little Rock native on the Razorback cheer squad, which has 15 women and 15 men.

The freshman Hog-caller was on the varsity cheer team in high school and was a competitive performer for Cheer City United, the Little Rock cheerleading and choreography center owned by Sunshine Lee, a former Razorback cheerleader herself. Another former Razorback cheerleader, Brindy Cathey, was Ann Claire’s coach at LRCA.
