The Shawnee State athletic program will officially be re-establishing cheerleading under its own umbrella as Shawnee State will be bringing the sport back under the athletics banner as a club offering.
Current Notre Dame High School varsity cheerleading coach Michelle Boldman has been tasked to lead the reins for the SSU cheerleading squad, with future aspirations of making cheerleading a competitive sport that will go up against outside competition. In years past, Shawnee State has had cheer from a university-wide standpoint, but under Cadogan, the squad has been reestablished to the point where it has not only held regular practices together, but has appeared and performed at each home basketball contest, as was the case prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’m very grateful and excited for this opportunity to lead the Shawnee State cheerleading program,” Boldman said. “Being named the head coach during the re-establishment of the cheer program is a pivotal opportunity to shape the program’s identity, build team structure and create a positive team culture.”
