Evergreen cheerleaders are full of spirit.

Evergreen High School Cheerleading Coach Tammy Dufford and her freshman cheerleader, Megan Bomgaars, have been selected to receive the 2008 National High School Spirit of Sport Award by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).

This award recognizes those individuals who exemplify the ideals of the spirit of sport. The awards will be presented this summer in Washington, D.C. After placing third at the Jeffco League meet and winning the small varsity division in regional competition, Evergreen finished 12th at the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) State Spirit Championships last December and received the award for good sportsmanship.

While other cheerleaders with Down syndrome have participated in cheerleading at local Colorado schools, CHSAA officials said this was the first occurrence at the tournament level.
