With a fierce determination to win, South Hills Synergy All-Stars Eclipse Junior 2 competitive cheer squad descended on National Harbor, MD the weekend of March 21–22 to compete at the Battle at the Capital. And win they did.

South Hills Synergy All-Stars Eclipse Junior 2 competitive cheer squad of Lindsey's Tumbling School in Jefferson Hills shows off their national champion prize jackets.

The girls, from Lindsey's Tumbling School in Jefferson Hills, performed on Saturday, nabbing the first-place position. They took the mat again on Sunday to cinch the top award in their division, making them Large Junior 2 National Champions.

"The work these girls put into perfecting their routine was remarkable. At the Battle at the Capitol, they were spot-on with their execution and technique and showed exceptional drive," said Lindsey DelGreco, founder and owner of Lindsey's Tumbling School. "The coaches and I were overwhelmed with their success and could not be more proud of them!" In addition to DelGreco, the squad's coaches are Karlee Sallinger, Rachel Majsak, and Amie Schmotzer. South Hills Synergy competitive cheer program will enter its fourth season this fall. The program operates as part of the U.S. All Star Federation (USASF), the largest governing body of competitive cheer in the U.S., and includes performance and competitive squads for girls ages 5–18.

Lindsey's Tumbling School opened a brand new facility on Cochran Mill Road in Jefferson Hills in December. For five years prior, it was located in Large Fire Hall on Route 51 in Jefferson Hills. The new gym features two full floors for training (one spring floor), inground tumble track, a foam block pit, and a party room. All mats and equipment are brand new to provide optimum safety for students, who range in age from 2–18. Offerings include parent/child classes, advanced tumbling, Zumba classes for adults, and more. There's even an "Extreme Gym" conditioning class for boys ages 5–12. "My dream of owning a tumbling school started out small, but interest kept growing so I kept adding more and more classes," said DelGreco, who was a gymnast and cheerleader herself and also coached competitive gymnastics. She taught elementary school for West Jefferson Hills School District for six years but recently resigned to devote her full attention to the gym.
