Their performance narrowly outpointed duets from Fishers High School and Lafayette McCutcheon High school.
In four competitions this season Shafer and Doll have collected three first place finishes and one third place finish. The pair will compete for the State Championship in Crawfordsville on March 20. Shafer’s home studio is The Academy of Dance, and Doll’s home studio is The Nancy Sauer School of Theatrical Dance, both in Terre Haute.
