We were the best squad at the tournament. Pep and practice polish Leza Chapman 6 6 eople would come up to us and say we were the best squad at the tournamentf' said Cheerleader Lori Jensen. It was the best year we've ever had, added Head Cheerleader Angela Doty. The year for the squad was one of changes. The squad was increased from five to six, so it could perform more stunts. They attended a four day camp at Utah State and cheered for wrestling. At camp, the cheerleaders worked on cheers, dance routines, pyramids, and pep rally ideas. Natalie Larchick added, We learned a lot of cheers and techniques that helped us and the crowds get more excited. We'd had pressure from the parents, coaches and wrestlers for wrestling cheerleaders. So we decided to try it this year on a trial basis and evaluate it at the end of the year to see if we would continue, said Advisor Nancy Nakahara. Nltis different, but fun. l'm glad weire doing it, because the wrestlers need as much support as the football and basketball players, said Jensen. Head Wrestling Coach Alan Lords added, We canceled the cheerleaders a couple of years ago because they didn't seem to be excited about the sport. This year they're a lot more interested and enthused and that makes a big difference. They help the wrestlers. 'iThey were always helping the team, keeping them fired up, and no matter if we were winning or losing, they kept yelling for us. They're all cute too, which helps, said Basketball Coach Scott Ehlers. The best part about cheerleading was state Lori Jensen quad basketball. lt's a lot more fun cheering when we're winning, said Teresa Nelson. Nakahara is credited by Ehlers and the cheerleaders as being a driving force behind the squad. g'She does a great job, he said. HI think she goes up and above her call of duty with us. She does things for us because she wants to, and she takes care of us, added Doty. Nakahara said There are less students to work with, so you get to know each one better. And we travel so much together that we're close, like a family. 84 Varsity Cheerleading Mfg Pin him! Wrestling cheerleading demands a different cheering technique.

The cheerleaders are responsible for organizing pep assemblies, decorating lockers, cheering at games and boosting the morale and spirit of the student body. As well as putting in a long season during school, cheerleaders did manipulate the list that was read aloud. Perhaps that's why Chad Anderson looks a little uncomfortable about what Santa is going to bring him and Natalie Larchick and Lori Jensen are amused. Varsity Cheerleading 85
