The Wayzata High School High Kick team capped off an exceptional season by placing 3rd in the 2026 Class AAA State Tournament, adding to its résumé as Conference Champions and Section Champions.
Beyond the podium finish, the Trojans also demonstrated excellence in the classroom. The team received a Gold Team Academic Award from the Minnesota Association of Dance Team Coaches (@madtcoaches) for posting an impressive 3.84 cumulative GPA.
Four seniors earned Academic All-State honors, each maintaining a personal GPA above 3.85:
Katie Anderson, Libby Bruns, Makenna Pawlowski, and Ella Schlecht.
On the performance floor, seniors Katie Anderson and Makenna Pawlowski were inducted into the 2026 Class AAA High Kick All-Tournament Team, recognizing their standout contributions at state.
In Wayzata, championships matter — but so does character. This year’s High Kick team proved it can do both.
