MU cheerleaders
are fourth best
The Misericordia University
cheerleading team finished
fourth at the Universal Cheer-
leading Association National
Championships on Jan. 19 at the
HP Field House at Disney’s Wide
World of Sports Complex in Or-
lando, FL.
The Cougars of coaches Tara
Sinclair and Courtney Coletti en-
tered the final round in fifth
place, but moved ahead of River-
side (CA) City College to place
fourth and record their second
consecutive top five finish.
Misericordia advanced to the
finals, thanks in part to a perfect
crowd score in the semifinal
round.
“I am incredibly proud of this
young team,” said Sinclair,
whose squad featured 10 team
members making their first ap-
pearance at nationals. “Our up-
perclassmen, especially seniors
Alyssa McEntee and Amber
Schmidt, did an amazing job
guiding our first-year members.”
“Each year, the team improves
its competitive ability and this
year was no different,” said
Schmidt, a team captain. “Our
team put a really solid and diffi-
cult routine together this year.
The growth I have experienced
and witnessed during my time at
MU is indescribable. We proved
that with dedication, hard-work
and determination goals are
achievable.”
Members of the Misericordia University cheerleading squad are,
from left, first row, Alyssa McEntee, Amber Schmidt, Jessica Mier-
