William Mason High School dance team honored after winning two state championships
Summary
The board meeting included a live presentation and remarks from the state‑champion William Mason High School dance team. Head coach Christina Hutter and student captains described a year‑round training cycle and two state titles (hip hop and game day).
The William Mason High School varsity dance team was recognized at the Mason City Schools board meeting after winning two state championships this season, in hip hop and game day divisions. The team visited the meeting and members spoke with board members and administrators.
“It's so much to us to be recognized in the community for all our hard work,” Christina Hutter, head coach of the Mason varsity dance team, told the board. Hutter described a season that begins with April tryouts, continues with summer training and camp, and culminates in choreography and competitions in January and beyond. The team qualified for national competition at UDA nationals, Hutter said.
Hutter said the program fields 19 athletes this season and she named Morgan Elam as an assistant coach; Holly Phelps was noted as a coach who could not attend. Two captains, Lauren (last name not specified in transcript) and Mia (last name not specified), spoke about the team’s experience, with Lauren saying the state title “pushed us even harder” and that the win reinforced their belief they could reach higher goals at nationals.
Board members and administrators praised the team’s dedication and highlighted the role of community support. During the presentation the district gave the team a small gift and invited a photo with board members. The board did not take formal action on the recognition; it was presented as part of the superintendent’s community highlights.
