In another big step for the NAIA emerging sport of cheer, the GPAC held the first ever conference invite on Saturday. At the event hosted in Fremont, Neb., by Midland University, head coach Daneen Kovar Theye’s Bulldog cheer squad finished runner up in the “non stunt” category.
Concordia cheer captain Jessica Olson is used to being referred to as “Miss Iowa,” as dance and cheer coach Daneen Kovar Theye often calls the Carlisle, Iowa, native. So naturally the two-year member of the Bulldog cheer team has been selected as one of roughly 25 candidates who will vie for the official title of Miss Iowa.
One season after the Bulldogs ranked 21st nationally in scoring average, they are looking to up the ante in 2025. Concordia Cheer returns veteran leaders LaCole Anno and Lauryn Stanley to the competition mat.
With a theme of #212 for 2024, Concordia Competitive Cheer aspires to heat things up this winter. The Bulldogs return two-time All-GPAC performer Shelby Timmerman from last season's team that placed third in the GPAC.
The Bulldogs are ready to return to the mat after making big gains in 2022 as a program. Leaders such as Brenden Ingram and Shelby Timmerman are back with eyes on making a push for a spot at the 2023 NAIA National Championships.
After becoming the first All-GPAC award winner in the history of Concordia Cheer, Shelby Timmerman is just getting started. Timmerman is one of the top current Bulldog athletes that some may not have heard of. It's time to get to know more about the Clatonia, Neb., native.
After taking a big leap forward in 2021, Head Coach Mandi Maser's competitive cheer squad is poised for even better in 2022. The Bulldogs are led by the likes of Brenden Ingram, Kathryn Taylor and Shelby Timmerman.
As a Bulldog, Kaci Hohenthaner has fully capitalized on a unique set of skills as a volleyball and cheer athlete. She can serve, she can pass, she can tumble, and she’s a future marketer.
Competition week is upon the Concordia University Cheer program, which will open up the 2021 season on Wednesday (Jan. 13). The team is captained by Josie O’Laughlin and Cora Rhode.
