Who is CLA?

VOLUME 2. SEASON 2

“It’s STILL a Family Thing”

VOLUME 1: COLORADO LIGHTNING ALLSTARS WAS ORIGINALLY STARTED IN 2003 BY MO AND JO TRUJILLO. CLA HAS COMPETED IN THE D2 CHEER GYM SPACE FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND EARNED SEVERAL STATE AND NATIONAL TITLES AND ARE AMONG SOME THE TOP TEAMS IN COLORADO FOR BOTH CHEER AND DANCE.

VOLUME 2: THE GYM IS NOW UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP UNDER MELISSA AND DUSTIN HILL. MELISSA WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ATHLETES AT CLA IN 2003, COMPETING ON THEIR SENIOR LEVEL 4 TEAM. IN 2022, THEIR DAUGHTERS BOTH BEGAN CHEERING AT CLA AS WELL. UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE GYM MEANS TO THE ATHLETES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A FORMER ATHLETE AND NOW PARENTS, THE HILL FAMILY JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO CONTINUE THE CLA LEGACY WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY AROSE. CLA IS IN ITS SECOND VOLUME OF THEIR STORY UNDER MELISSA AND DUSTIN. THE GYM HAS ALREADY RISEN BACK TO PROMINENCE AS ONE OF THE BEST D2 GYMS IN THE STATE AND IS NATIONALLY RANKED IN THE TOP 10 IN SEVERAL DIVISIONS OF THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES. WE HOPE YOU JOIN OUR FAMILY IN KICKING OFF THE FIRST CHAPTER IN OUR NEW STORY. WE CAN’T WAIT TO CHEER YOU ON.
