The Spirit J.t took an incredible amount of gymnastic ability and many long hours of practice to develop the distinctive Texas style that defined the cheerleading team as one of the top squads in the nation. By competing in contests during cheerleading camp at the University of Tennessee in August, the squad qualified for the National Cheerleaders Association Championship in Dallas on Jan. 8. Memphis State won first place at the championship contest while the ' Horns tied for second place with the University of Florida. Although the ' Horns tied the Gators for second place, they were still rather disappointed. Memphis State had 34 members on their squad and Florida State had 14, while Texas had only 10. I don ' t think the judges were quite ready for that. It was a little unfair, said Longhorn cheerleader Martin Luecke. Five of the 1982 cheerleaders had been cheerleaders in 1981. These were Garry Day, Pepe Martinez, Scott Cole, Susan Fumic, DeeAnna Gilliam and Patrick Goudeau. Other members of the cheerleading squad were Douglas Mercer, Martin Luecke, Traci Wilcots, Stacey Beasley, Dee Carter and Lance Watson. Six alternates were chosen to help the cheerleaders during the rigorous basketball season. These basketball cheerleaders were: Joe Ford, Tracy Brannsford, Joe Center, Leslie Scott, Cara Garner and Goudeau. Fumic and Martinez were elected as head cheerleaders to lead the squad throughout the athletic seasons. Many of the Longhorn cheerleaders had had previous gymnastic experience and training before making the UT squad. Long hours of practice went into perfecting new and traditional yells and routines. The total number of hours spent cheering, practicing and attending various functions like alumni parties and parades amounted to approximately 20 hours per week. In spite of all the work involved, the squad enjoyed representing UT wherever they went. by Melanie Wilson FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS: FIRST ROW: Susan Marie Fumic, Deeanna Gilliam, Dee Ann Carter, Stacey Diane Beasley, Traci Siobhann Wilcots.
