At the beginning of the wrestling season, the girls who want to be cheerleaders have tryouts. These girls are judged by people not associated with Poudre. They are judged on their ability. In November the cheerleaders at- tended a one day camp in Pueblo, Colorado. The camp was put on by the NCAA cheerleaders. The NCAA cheerleaders showed them how to warm up, practice, spot jumps, and yell. Every school in Colorado was invited. The wrestling cheerleaders also had fund raisers. The fund raisers included Country Kitchen Candy and wrestling candy bars. The money raised was spent on uni- forms, road travel, and a few other things. The cheerleaders don't get as much recognition as they de- serve, but, Poudre does appreciate them! Flag Team Each year in the spring the new flag team is chosen Each learns a new routine to the Poudre fight song They are then judged by three judges Practices are every Monday night for two hours To be on the team the students have to take marching band class The class only lasts a quarter This year the flag team performed along with the band many times There was a CSU Band Day in which teams had tryouts Whoever came in first would perform at the halftime of the CS U Homecom mg Game In Colorado Springs the band went to the Air Force Band Day This year Poudre was invited to perform in the Parade of Lights Poudres band was the only band chosen from Ft Collins The flag team usually ends in Ian uary ss.

Winter Cheerleaders The 1987-88 Winter Cheerleaders did an excellent job supporting both girls' and boys' basketball. They also attended several of the boys' swim meets. The squad worked to involve the crowd and build enthusiasm for the team. Some of their extra efforts to boost the teams' spirits included baking cookies for them, making signs and locker tags, and decorating each player's room at hisfher home be- fore one of the rival games. There were four gymnasts on the squad, which allowed them to do more stunts, pyramids, and tum- bling. In addition to their sponsor, Linda Bausch, they received addi- tional coaching from Teri. Both were former cheerleaders, and dedicated many hours to the squad. Back row: Lisa Janssen, Kim Lindenberg, Lauralyn Duff, Rachel Marquart. Front row: Stacy Gardner Shannon Bryner, Ronna Alldredge, Trish Schoonveld. L Fall Cheerleaders The fall cheerleaders had tryouts at the beginning of the summer. They were judged by people outside Poudre. The cheerleaders were taught the required cheer and rou- tine. They also made up a routine themselves. They were also judged on jumps, kicks, and gymnastics. In August, their practices were ev- ery day from two and a half to three hours long. Instead of the cheerleaders going to a camp, an ex-Poudre cheerleader helped teach new routines and activities. She came once a week for six weeks. The fall cheerleaders had a big re- sponsibility. They had to cheer for two main sports and five others. The two main sports were football and volleyball. The cheerleaders attended all of these games. There were five other sports that they only attend once or twice. 2 Front row: Paula Glanz, Brenda Wheelock, jenny Dolon, jenny Armour. Back row: Mellani Hess, Peregoy, and jenny Wagner.
