“I couldn’t ask for a better group of seniors,” said Martinez.
Senior captain Evada Palmer reflected on her time as a Pomalink. “My most memorable moments would be girls state basketball freshman year and Festivus.”
Seniors Katie Smith and Hailey Olberding both reminisced about the various times they performed as Pomalinks.
Martinez, who danced as a Pomalink when she attended LHS, said that she wanted to give her seniors a good experience. “I loved my time as a Pomalink and want them to enjoy it like I did.”
Olberding will remember her time as a Pomalink as “a positive experience [she] will keep for the rest of her life and being super memorable.”
