Jena Arehart will be performing at the world’s famous New Year’s Day 2020 Parade in London.

The Manteca High junior is part of the All-American Cheerleader group. According to her mother, Sandra Lara, Arehart was selected to this prestigious team consisting of 800 plus cheerleaders from across the U.S. by American Cheerleaders Association coordinator at a camp held in Santa Cruz last July.

“It’s great that she’ll be with all these people across the pond,” Lara said.

Her daughter departed with members of her Group 3 squad out of LAX – that group also includes cheerleaders from Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico along with California – the day after Christmas.

Arehart has been cheerleading since the tender age of 3. She was with the Victorious Elite All Stars back then.

The New Year’s Day 2020 Parade is expected to have an estimated 500,000 spectators along the streets of London. On top of that, millions of TV viewers can expect to catch the event streamed online at www.varsityallamericantour2019.

“We’re very proud of Jena having this once in a lifetime opportunity,” Lara added.
