2002 Miracle Yearbook

CU -heerleading The purpose ofthe Cheerleading squad was to bring glory to God and support the players, coaches,and fans, and that is what they did. The Cedarville University cheerleaders encouraged school spirit and honored God through the 2001-2002 school year. They strived through many injuries while taking their Christian testimonies to many home and away games. They also encouraged the basketball players through notes, gifts, and verbal reinforcement. Through their acrobatic talent, they showed their support for both the Men's and Women's basketball teams and sought to glorify God in everything they did. The Cheerleading squad worked extremely hard over the season. Tough practices and many injuries contributed to a difficult year, but the team grew closer together and pushed through the difficulty. According to freshman cheerleader Sarah Spracklen, "The team Gold Squad: Kristie Tate, Beth Boyne, Sarah Spracklin, Jennifer Presley, Amy Zeppenfeld 46 AIN, really worked hard throughout the entire season. I was proud ofwhat we were able to accomplish. We overcame lots ofobstacles and many injuries." Despite the struggles, she added,"The team had a blast." They pushed themselves to achieve greater physical levels and encouraged record-setting crowds during Li'l Sibs weekend. Li'l sib, Adam Fernandes said,"The flips and cheers the cheerleaders did were amazing." For the first time,the cheerleading squad was large enough to divide into two teams. One cheered for the Men's Basketball team, while the others supported the Women's team by cheering during the women's home games,as well giving out prizes to the crowds who came. The squad enjoyed this addition and looks forward to cheering next season. The Cedarville cheerleaders move in sync during a basketball time out.
