fter volunteering for Sandpoint High School’s cheer competition season in 2019, Heather Dinkins would take on the role of head cheer coach the following season, with the 20212022 season marking her second year. She is also a math teacher at Sandpoint High School. With a background as a cheerleader herself, she participated in the sport at Sandpoint Middle School in seventh and eighth grade, and Sandpoint High School ninth through 12th grade. “I was a freshman on varsity and captain grades 10 through 12,” Heather shares. “The classes of 2001 and 2002 built this program from the ground up.” Heather would go on to coach in Phoenix, Arizona, saying that moving home to Sandpoint was an “opportunity to help pay it forward” for what SHS cheer gave to her. When it comes to what she finds most rewarding about coaching these athletes, Heather shares that it is “seeing them embrace selflessness to become a cohesive team.”

SHS FOOTBALL 2021
Like any sport, these athletes train hard. During the summer months, the team participated in practice from 7 to 10am Monday through Friday, learning all of the cheers and dances
for the games. Once the school year is in session, the competition team practices 6 to 7:30pm Tuesday through Thursday, while the sideline team practices 3:30 to 5pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, with high intensity interval training held 2 to 3pm Wednesday. Heather finds that those interested in and who participate in cheer tend to be adventurous and athletic. “Throwing people is dangerous and difficult. I need athletes to fully commit to cheer. We can teach the rest.” In addition to cheering on the football teams, you can find them showing their support at both the boys and girls basketball games. “This year we plan to cheer for all sports on their senior night and provide them with gift bags to show our appreciation for all of their hard work,” Heather smiles. SHS’s 2021-2022 Cheer Team Manager: Clarity Robinson, Sophomore Seniors: Olivia Dyk, Jessica Mancuso, Nina Adams Juniors: Kenzie Wyman, Casey Reid, Mina Lang, McKenna Kuprienko, Cadence Giese, Jordan Rosenau Sophomores: Annie Gove, Mia Przybylski, Shaina Crabb, Kayla Robere Foreign Exchange Students: Sophie Promper & Viktoria Sinevid
