Mount Mercy University Spirit Squad - Cheer & Dance Team

Happy Birthday to Diego Martinez 🎉

The Hype Man of MMU Cheer is officially hitting The Big 1️⃣9️⃣!

Diego, your energy is unmatched. You bring the spirit, the volume, the laughs, and the passion every single day. Whether it’s on the mat, on the sidelines, or in the locker room — you make this team better just by being YOU.

We are so proud of the athlete, teammate, and young man you are becoming. Keep shining, keep hyping, and keep leading with that big heart of yours.

Have an AMAZING day — you deserve it! 💙💛

Happy Birthday to MMU Cheer’s very own Ainsley Marso! 🎉💙💛

We hope your day is filled with laughter, happiness, and all the things you love most. Thank you for the energy you bring to the team. Keep shining both on and off the mat!

Wishing you an amazing year ahead, Ainsley — you deserve it! 🐴✨

Today, several members of the Mount Mercy University Cheer Team had the opportunity to volunteer at the T1D Walk.

What made today even more special was getting to walk alongside one of our very own alumni and assistant coaches, Katelyn Williams. Katelyn has been such an important part of the MMUCT family, and it was truly an honor to support and walk beside her today.

Moments like these remind us that this team is about more than cheer — it’s about family, community, support, and showing up for one another both on and off the mat. 💙💛

Tonight we celebrated another season of growth, memories, hard work, and family at our End of Season Banquet for the Mount Mercy University Cheer Team.

This season had its highs and lows, but through it all I could not be more proud of everything this team accomplished together. The resilience, dedication, and love this team showed for one another never went unnoticed. One Team. One Dream. One Family. 💙💛

A very special thank you to our outgoing 2025-2026 captains for their leadership, commitment, and heart throughout this season:
• Dylan Wilson
• Maria Ferraro
• Katelyn Williams
• Nasharia Patterson

Our team awards are especially meaningful because they are voted on by their teammates. Congratulations to this year’s award recipients:

🏆 Rookie of the Year — Colin Petersen
🏆 Most Improved — Josie Driskill

We are also excited to officially announce our 2026-2027 Cheer Captains:

The future of this program is bright, and I cannot wait to see what this next season brings for the Mount Mercy University Mustangs. Thank you athletes, families, alumni, and supporters for continuing to believe in this program.
