L-W Cheerleaders to Perform at U.S. Cellular Field

Cheerleading squads from Lincoln-Way Central, Lincoln-Way East and Lincoln-Way North are headed to U.S. Cellular Field on Aug. 24 for a special performance before the game.

The squads, coached by Samantha Wertelka (Central), Julie Zaker (East) and Jaime Robison (North), are scheduled to perform at Gate 1 as spectators arrive for the Aug. 24 match-up between the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The pregame entertainment begins at 10 a.m. The game begins at 1:05 p.m.

“We’re really pleased to have this opportunity to perform before the White Sox game,” said Wertelka. “This will be the third year the Knights have participated in the event.”
“The girls love to perform for others,” said Zaker, “so they are really excited to be able to do that at this venue.”

“They’re very excited (about the performance),” added Robison, “because they are going to be put on the Jumbo Tron where the whole park can see them on game day.”

The cheerleading squads earned an opportunity to perform at the game by selling tickets for a fundraiser. Each school had to sell 150 tickets to participate.

They will join a number of other area high schools, including Sandburg and St. Rita, at the pre-game festivities.

More than 100 Lincoln-Way cheerleaders will be at the game. Lincoln-Way East plans to send 51 girls from its varsity and sophomore squads while Each Lincoln-Way North, which is celebrating its first year of existence, plans to send 72 girls from its freshman, sophomore and varsity teams.

Each team will perform a one-minute routine that will include a cheer, music and lots of action.
