        The Ballroom Team represented OHS well at the Timpview Thunderball this weekend. Several team members competed individually with their partner, and the team competed in the Team Match and Swing Showdance category. The Team Match was the largest field ever in the state with 12 teams, but our team danced well (we actually fielded 2 teams for the event).

        In the Swing Showdance category, we combined our Varsity and JV teams into a super-mega 15 couple Lindy Hop! They did awesome, getting second place and beating several other powerhouse teams, such as Provo.
