( Bluefield)—It’s worth cheering about! The Bluefield State College cheerleading squad won several awards during the recent National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) Cheerleading Camp in Myrtle Beach, SC. The BSC squad, which helped to direct a very well attended cheerleading clinic for area public school cheerleaders this summer, was selected from all NCAA Division II teams in the competition to receive the “Most Improved” trophy, the “Spirit Stick,” and three superior ribbons, according to Beth Jones, who coordinated the College’s participation in the event.
“While at the camp, we had the opportunity to learn and perfect floor cheers, crowd cheers, and stunts,” noted Carey Flanagan, BSC’s squad member. “We had the opportunity to cheer with cheerleading squads from Army, the University of South Carolina, the University of Georgia, Kennesaw State University, and Grambling State University.”
The BSC cheerleading squad also received an invitation to participate in the NCA college national championship to be held in Daytona, FL.
