Cheerleaders work at their sport
By WENDY STRINGFELLOW
Staff Writer .
Collegiate cheerleading has pro
gressed from a sidelight to a sport,
with its own competitions and
coaches, and North Carolina is no
exception to the trend toward
athleticism in cheering.
Scot Wilce. who coached gymnas
tics for 10 years, now trains the
varsity and junior varsity squads.
Tm reorganizing and training them
more like athletes," Wilce said.
"That's what cheerleading is becom
ing more and more."
In the past,1 cheerleaders have
often been looked at as decoration
and not given much respect for their
actual talents. "We're getting that
respect now," said co-captain Quen
tin Alexander. "People are coming
to our practices and realizing we're
not just a bunch of people jumping

up down and screaming."
So they're athletes. What can we
expect to see this year besides short
skirts and firm muscles?
"You'll see a better version of what
you saw last year very sharp
motions, excellent dances and more
tumbling," Wilce said. Also the
squad is working more on precision
rather than difficulty of their
routines.
But don't expect to see too many
pyramids. Pyramids aren't safe, and
they don't really motivate the crowd,
Wilce said.
According to Alexander, the girls
are putting more emphasis on sharp,
flashy dances. Also, the cheers will
be "simple, so that the crowd can
yell with us more."
One cheer the crowd should like
is called "We Got Spirits," said
Alexander.
"It has movements the crowd can
do. Of course, they can use their
flasks and yell, 'We got spirits."'
The cheerleaders have a rigorous
practice schedule. Twice a week they
practice for three hours. At these
practices they begin by tumbling,
then they do cheers and routines and
they finish with strength exercises.
Two other days each week, the
guys lift weights while the girls do
strengthening exercises or practice
dances. These days practice lasts
about an hour. In addition to this.

each male female partner team
practices its stunts twice a week for
one to two hours.
"Strength training is progressive,"
said Wilce. "The girls need torso
strength, the stomach, hips, legs, (but
more importantly) they need to have
body control."
"Any strength (for girls) is motion
specific," Wilce said. They need to
train their arms to move quickly.
Lifting weights wouldn't do that for
them, he said. "If you lift weights
slowly, you won't be able to pull
(your arm) up fast when you need
to."
"The guys are really strong," Wilce
said. "Throwing girls who weigh 1 1 0
120 pounds and holding them for
extended periods of time requires a
lot of strength."
A person needs to be able to lift
more than that in order to be in
control, he added. " Number one,
it's not safe; number two, it doesn't
look good. There's a motto among
the guys, a girl never hits the ground
no matter what."'
With a coach on the scene now,
the squad has to keep pushing even
when it may not feel like it.
"We had someone who hurt her
wrist," said Emily Blount, the other
co-captain. "We were doing push
ups, and he said to just ball up your
fist and do them that way."

The members of the 1986 UNC
viewed as pretty girls who wanted
popularity. To these 16 men and
women, that stereotype is as out-of-date
as June Cleaver.
Today's cheerleader needs
strength, endurance and agility.
"The football players get to sit
down during the game," Alexander
said. "If the band plays, we have to
have keep going no matter how tired
we are."
While cheerleaders declare their
athletic prowess, some wonder just
what the cheerleader's role is.
"I don't think they serve a purpose

varsity cheerleading team believe
in a college this big," said Bob Smith
III, a senior journalism student. "The
crowds are too large."
Yet, Wilce maintained cheerlead
ers play an important role in mot
ivating the crowd.
"Just compare how well a team
does when it's at home with when
it's away," he said. "Trying to get
a crowd going that's not real happy
is tough to do, but that's what 1
expect from them. On the floor,
they're to motivate the crowd."

cheerleading can be called a sport
the top five.
"We're not really sure where we
finished because they only gave out
a first place and first runner-up,"
Alexander said.
In 1978 UNC won the televised
National Collegiate Cheerleading
Championships held in the spring.
"It's become a lot more compet
itive now," Alexander said. "A lot
of squads are doing three-high
pyramids (three people standing,
stacked on each other's shoulders)
and flipping over the top. We're
limited."
