MONROE, LA – The University of Louisiana Monroe Cheerleading team placed second out of seven teams
in the Small Co-Ed Division of The College Classic National Championship in Orlando,
Fla. On April 13-14, 2024.
This event marked the first time the ULM Cheerleading team has competed in the Small
Co-Ed Division in over 10 years.
“The growth of these athletes throughout the season is a testament to their perseverance
and grit, rewarded by their history-making division entry and the hardware,” said
ULM Cheerleading Head Coach Sammi Spivey. “As 2023 All-Girl National Champions, it
was a difficult decision to make the division change to Small Co-Ed from All-Girl,
but receiving second place in this division shows us we are moving in the right direction,”
continued Spivey.
“Nationals season is always difficult,” said ULM Cheerleading Lieutenant Courtlyn
Gremillion. “We have to learn choreography and stunts within a short window after
football season and then perfect it. I’m proud of how our team rose to the challenge
and handled adversity this season,” added Gremillion.
The 2023-2024 ULM Cheerleading team includes Maribeth DeWitt, Captain; Faith Gaude,
Co-Captain; Courtlyn Gremillion; Lieutenant; Anna Bennett; Madelyn Bozeman; Ashlee
Lewis; Tra’Nyce Spencer; Makenzie Mitchell; Lydia DarDar; Ambria Miller; Landry Brancamp;
