cheerleader

This high school student has a better date for his prom than you may ever have in your life.

Last month Rachel Washburn returned home from Afghanistan, following her second tour as a first lieutenant in Army intelligence. She was honored Sunday night at halftime of the Bears-Eagles game in Philadelphia, where she was a cheerleader for three years.

This girl is ready to move forward now.

The gravity-defying tosses, spins and flips of college cheerleading are hard enough to do on two legs. Now imagine trying to do them on one. That's Patience Beard's reality, as the 18-year-old lost her left leg to an illness when she was a baby. But she's never let her lack of a limb hold her back, and this year she was one of only five freshmen to make the University of Arkansas cheerleading squa

There are two things you should know about cheerleaders. One, they are serious athletes. And, two, is that cheerleading is by far the most dangerous sport for high school and college girls in terms of injuries suffered.

It is often noted that cheerleading is one of the most dangerous sports out of there, and anybody watching the Michigan State vs Florida State college basketball game Wednesday was reminded of that when MSU cheerleader Taylor Young landed right on her head after falling backward off of a male cheerleader’s shoulders.
