Coached by new head coach Amanda Gaines, the University of Minnesota Dance Team won its fifth College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship this past weekend. Senior and kinesiology student Grace Gerring spoke highly of teammates and coaches commenting, “It has been such an enjoyable experience, and I couldn’t have done it without amazing coaches and teammates standing by me every step of the way.” Gerring, a member of the team for four years, said the coaches have spent the year perfecting the basics and remembering why they began dancing.
