Mustangs debut cheer routines at Grand View

DES MOINES, Iowa - Over the weekend, the Mount Mercy cheerleading squad traveled to Grand View to compete in the Viking Classic and the Grand View Invitational on Sunday, Jan. 29. 

The competitions featured Mount Mercy, St. Ambrose, Grand View, and Waldorf. Despite being a primarily first-year student team, losing a team member to injury in the first event, and having to put someone in a base position they had never practiced in the second event, the cheer team was still able to increase their score.

Head Cheer Coach Michaela Davis reflected on the past weekend with, "The spirit squads showed off their hard work and resilience this weekend, scoring almost 20 points higher than our opening competition last year. We are excited to build on this incredible start to the season!"

Mount Mercy will be back on the mats on Feb. 10-11 as they travel to Kansas for competitions against Baker on Saturday and Benedictine on Sunday.
