THE LMU SPIRIT SQUAD
This is the third year that cheer has been considered a sport although they have been a huge part of Athletics dating back to the football years. Serving as a "Spirit Squad" for men's basketball when the university was known as Loyola, the current cheer team has grown to a service-oriented organization that not only appears and supports all 21 LMU athletic teams and events, but performs community service. Auditions for the LMU Spirit Squad take place once a year. The audition date for 2008 will be May 3 at 8 a.m. in Gersten Pavilion.

The cheer squad has continued to impress with its overall in-game routines with advanced tumbling, stunt and dance performances. In addition to providing support to the teams during the games, the squad will once again perform halftime and timeout routines. This year's squad includes:
Amanda Barthel Elise Blecker Alyse Chong Heather Chong Kristen Cirillo Oscar Contreras Ashley Cordes Arianne Cortes Jovan Dansberry Lisa Green Kim Hein Penelope Horan Caroline Jahna Kendra Jones Ashlee Jones Julia Karnoski Tracie Kogura Thomas Miller Katie Mollica Teresa Moore Amanda Veitia Coach: Travis Neese For more information about the members of the cheer squad, click here.
