James Member Of Co-Ed Cheerleading Team At CMU

2017 Sep 28

The co-ed cheerleading team and mascots at Central Methodist University are igniting spirit all around CMU's main campus in Fayette.

Caylie James, from Brookfield, Mo., is a member of the team.

Whether they've been in the new Eagle Tailgate Zone prior to home football game kickoffs, on the sidelines cheering on the varsity volleyball team, or attending a National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) camp, they've been a busy group - doing all they can to spread Eagle pride.

Throughout the semester, the cheerleaders, alongside mascots Eddie and Ellie the Eagles, gear up for competition season that begins at the end of January. The team won the Heart of America Athletic Conference cheer championship for 2015 and 2016, according to Fuemmeler.

"Last year, we took second place in the conference, and we are ready to go to work to get back on top," she said. "The team is stacked with talent in all areas that are critical to our competition routine."

James is a sophomore at CMU currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in education and early childhood education.
