COLUMBIA, MS – Hana Echols, a rising 7th grader at East Marion Middle School, has been named to the prestigious UCA All-American Cheer Squad, a national honor that recognizes top cheerleaders across the country for their talent, leadership, and dedication to the sport.
Echols earned this recognition during the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) camp, where she impressed judges with her spirited performance, technique, and standout enthusiasm. As an All-American, Echols has been invited to perform in the Orlando Thanksgiving Tour, one of UCA’s celebrated national events.
“We are beyond proud of Hana,” said her mother. “She has worked so hard and stayed committed to her team and goals. Watching her confidence and talent grow has been an absolute joy.”
Echols represents East Marion Middle School with pride, both on the sidelines and in the classroom. Her achievement reflects not only her personal dedication, but also the support and spirit of her cheer team and community.
Echols will travel to Orlando this November, where she’ll join other elite cheerleaders from around the country for a once-in-a-lifetime performance opportunity.
