This past weekend the Coupeville High School cheerleaders made their first-ever trip to the national championships held in Anaheim, Calif.

Unfortunately, two members of the squad marred that accomplishment when they were arrested for allegedly shoplifting at Disneyland after the competition took place.

Coupeville School District Superintendent Bill Myhr said police haven’t determined if charges will be filed against the two girls. He would not give the ages or the grade level of the pair.

School officials are conducting their own investigation.

Because the girls were participating in a school-sponsored event, they fall under the school district’s conduct policy. The Coupeville High School principal will conduct the investigation over spring break.

Myhr said the two cheerleaders could be suspended between five and 20 days. In addition, they might have to return to California to answer to any charges that may be filed.

Myhr was disappointed with the incident because the cheerleading team is one of the more successful teams in school district history.

They tied for second place in the state competition. That performance earned them a spot at the national competition. The team did not place at last weekend’s national competition.
