The SWT Cheerleaders took home five trophies at this year's UCA cheerleading camp held on campus from July 26-29. At least 30 different universities participated in the camp ranging from the University of Texas at Austin to Iowa State. Awards included a first place finish in both sideline and cheer categories. SWT placed second in fight song competition as well as winning the camp's leadership award.
Cheerleaders start their season in the summer and continue throughout the school year.
They practice about six to eight hours a week preparing cheers for SWT events. In addition to the cheerleaders building spirit at the SWT sports events, they also strive to be ambassadors for the university out in the community. In cooperation with the Parent's and Alumni Associations, cheerleaders participate in events such as Texas Regional Olympics and certain drug awareness programs. Due to the cheerleaders' dedication, the Parent's Association purchased the new SWT mascot uniform. Cheerleaders also attend alumni events as well as speaking at local schools.
