Friona High School student Lizbeth Rojas was one of 800 high school cheerleaders from across the U.S. who participated in the world famous London New Year’s Day Parade in London, England. The cheerleaders were invited to perform in the celebration as part of the All-American program. They were chosen based on their superior athletic and leadership skills exhibited at summer camps across the country last year. Only the top 12% of athletes who attend the camps earn the chance to perform in the holiday spectacular.
