LFFL Cheerleading is proud to announce that Lauren Williams has been selected as a Northern Virginia Cheerleader of the Year. Lauren is one of only 5 awardees in 2014 who will be honored during the Northern Viriginia Hall of Fame banquet on March 2, 2014 in McLean, VA.

Lauren was notified of the award on January 5, and joins an elite group of rec-league cheerleaders from all over Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. The Northern Virginia Cheerleader Hall of Fame (formerly called the Fairfax County Hall of Fame) recognizes cheerleaders who embody a host of characteristics -- elite cheerleading skills, strong academics, extensive community service and leadership skills.

Lauren is the second member of LFFL Cheerleading to receive the Cheerleader of the Year recognition. Our vice cheerleading commissioner, Dymond Cooper received this same award in 2008 when it was called the Fairfax County Hall of Fame.

Lauren joined LFFL Cheerleading in 2012, and cheered on "SENIORS-Black Ice" squad this past season. Lauren is a talented dancer, and possesses a strong aptitude for tumbling and stunting. Lauren is usually a Base. She was the point jumper and executed the last tumbling pass for Black Ice during the 2013 Performance Day routine. Lauren is off to high school in Fall 2014, where she plans to pursue both cheerleading and dance, as well as come back to volunteer with LFFL Cheerleading, assisting our youngest athletes.
