Kentucky Christian Cheerleaders Earn Bid To National Competition

The Kentucky Christian University Cheerleaders, under the direction of coaches Lauren Curley and Rachel Harvey, entered their first-ever competitive cheer contest through the Christian Cheerleaders of America this past weekend in Louisville.

The KCU squad was the only participant in the co-ed cheerleader team among the collegiate groups.

At a practice just two days before the competition, two injuries caused changes to the squad’s routine, but still came away with a solid score.

In just its first year of competition, the KCU cheerleaders earned a bid to the National Competition.

The team members are:

• Alyssa Ryan
• Morgan Gardner
• Jessica Cain
• Jenelle Nearhood
• Bre Missler
• David Asiedu
• Ralph Myars
• MJ Moreno
• Jeff Lasch
• Matthew Pickle

The National Competition will be held March 7-8, 2014, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
