HALEY HUSTON - HEAD COACH

My name is Haley Huston, I am 21 years old and have had a ton of experience in the dance and cheer world.  I have been dancing for 19 years and have cheered all together for 8 years. I started teaching dance at the age of 12 at a local studio- I also coached my own cheer team when I was 14.  I teach tumbling and technique classes at a studio and privately in my spare time. I was recruited to Tuachan Performing Arts center as a freshman in high school. I have trained with LADC, Cougarettes, and one of the greatest experiences- The Disneyland Resort.

I am married to my best friend, Josh. We have been married for a little over 2 years. We have been able to go on many adventures, including traveling to Moscow Russia in November 2015. I have worked in the dental field for 3 years, but recently have started working at Hunter High to better be able to fulfil my job as a coach. I have a passion for nutrition and I love learning how to train the human body for the physical activities people are involved in. I love Disney, you could probably find me watching Disneyland Resort parades/entertainment online more than I watch any movie.  

I am so excited to coach my third year of Hunter High School cheerleaders. I look forward to help our athletes learn, not just cheer skills, but important life skills. I am thrilled to see their love for cheer grow as mine has consistently. 

KYLIE NINOW - ASSISTANT COACH

My name is Kylie Georgia Ninow, I am 20 years- old and Hunter High alumni. I am so excited to be back and coaching the sport I love! I started cheerleading at the age of 10 at a small dance studio and did that on and off till high school when I made Varsity my sophomore year. I am currently a college student at Salt Lake Community College studying my generals and my prerequisites, I would like to transfer to the University of Utah and get my bachelors in Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community Health. I love the color purple and dogs, but my mom said if I get another dog I have to move out… so I have to stick with one for now! Oh, and Pepsi over Coke products any day!  

ASHLEE HADDENHAM - ASSISTANT COACH

Hey friends!

My name is Ashlee Haddenham (Had-den-ham), and I am 21 years old. I cheered all through high school, and took cheer skills and life skills with me when I graduated. I apply them to everyday life lessons. This is my first year at HHS, however, I coached Tae-Kwon-Do for about five years once I received my 1st degree black belt. I have been taught cheer, dance, tumbling, and stunting from many gyms across Utah. Including MACS Allstars, Colettes Dance, LA Dance Co, and Hunts Gymnastics. Approximately 6-7 years of hard work and dedication in the cheerleading world. Animals, flowers and athletics are my passion. But my favorite places to be, are the mountains or the beach, and when I am visiting them I am probably either close to home or close to Disneyland- both of which I enjoy more than anything, especially with my family. I am so excited to be coaching a sport that I love, with people that I love.

XOXO,

Ashlee
