Students knew that the 2020 school year would look very different to the Seniors as they navigated the COVID-19 Pandemic. How different they had no idea. For one Senior, she soon found that there would be many obstacles including quarantine and coaching changes, but that didn’t stop her from making the All-State Pom team.
After asking Chaney about her thoughts going into her Senior year she said “we knew it would not be anything close to normal but that we would be grateful for whatever opportunities we did get.”
The EHS Pom team would have one other obstacle, a coaching change. This would be the 4th coaching change in her career at EHS. For this change, Chaney said that “although change is difficult we had been through it before, as a group we stepped up and helped make the transition less stressful.”
EHS Pom Coach Abigail Necarsulmer said this about Chaney: “Chaney is adaptable to change and has kept a positive attitude throughout the Covid-19 environment. Making All-State affirms her expertise and commitment to her sport.”
Chaney Tucker has been a member of the Enid High Pom Team since middle school and has been dancing since she was little. This, along with an excellent work ethic, has made Chaney a very talented dancer. So good in fact, she was recognized this year by being named an Oklahoma All-State and All-Region West performer.
“Chaney Tucker has been a dedicated member of the Pom team since she joined in 7th grade. Chaney works hard in and out of practice and her skills display consistency and mastery of dance” said Coach Necarsulmer.
It is not surprising that Chaney will continue her Pom career at the next level. Her sister Piper is a member of the OU Pom Team. Chaney told me that she will definitely be pursuing a Pom or Dance position at the collegiate level. One thing is clear, Chaney has a great work ethic and is very talented, two traits that will serve her well as she continues on her path. We at EHS are excited for her future and can not wait to see what she accomplishes!
