The DeWitt cheer team practices its routine at the high school gym before heading to Japan.

The DeWitt High School competitive cheerleading team has been invited by the Japanese government as the only team from the USA to represent the sport. 

WKAR's Al Martin talked with seniors Payton Dassy, Liz Zunker, Kailin Greenhoe and head coach Deb Rambow before hitting the road!! This trip caps off 27 years as head coach of the program for Rambow.
