Blinn Cheer & Dance Compete in Daytona Beach
The Blinn College cheer and dance teams competed this past week in Daytona Beach, Florida with NCA/NDA at their collegiate national competition. There were over 210 teams competing for 15 national titles this year. Our dance team had the highest score and rank Blinn has ever received with an 8.810 (out of 10)in the final competition finishing in 6th place. They were the top 2 year dance team at the contest and were only beat out by 5-four year universities. The cheerleaders also finished with their highest placement in 3rd place out of the 7 teams that competed and our highest judges score in five years with an 8.560 in the small coed II division. Highlights from their performances can be viewed on the varsity web site at www.varsity.com
Both groups were very pleased with their performances and their finish this year at nationals. Coach Forsythe could not be happier with the results! Go Bucs!

Blinn Dance Team Wins National Title
The Blinn College Dance Team performed at their first of three national competitions this past weekend. The contest, by Showtime International, was held at Moody Gardens in Galveston on March 15.
The dance team had a great performance and they came away with a first-place win and their first national championship under the direction of Karry Forsythe.
Karry is in her seventh year as the coach of the Dance Team
and Cheerleaders. A native of Houston, Mrs. Forsythe attended

major her junior year, and co-colonel her senior year.
Mrs. Forsythe was a member of the Blinn Dance Team from 1994-1995.
During that time she performed under the direction of Lela Kelly.
She then transferred to Sam Houston State University where she
majored in Dance and graduated with a B.A. degree in May of 1999.
After graduation, Mrs. Forsythe moved to Brenham and taught
dance and cheerleading for two years. Karry departed from Brenham
High School to come to Blinn College in May of 2001. During her
first two years here at Blinn College, Mrs. Forsythe completed
her Masters of Education with an emphasis in Health.
Karry and her husband Mike now reside in Brenham. Mrs. Forsythe

and also to many great years in the future.
