Competing in the Midget division, the same division as the Lihu‘e Patriots cheer squad, Kekaha put together an 82.56 point performance for third place in the Midget Small class of the Advanced Division.

First place in the Midget Small class went to the Wall Knights from the Eastern Region who tallied 89.06 points followed by the Reading Rockets from New England in second place at 87.96 points.
The Lihu‘e Patriots Midget squad finished in 10th place in the competition.
