Peters a Troy cheerleader

Contributed

Hannah Peters, a 2012 Tallassee High School senior, has earned her spot on the 2012-'13 Troy University cheerleading squad.    Hannah was one of the 22 girls chosen for the All-Girls squad on April 29, to be seen on the sidelines cheering for the Trojans this upcoming season. 

The three-day tryouts started April 27 with over 40 participants arriving at the Trojan Arena to learn the required chant/cheer and dance.  Interviews were held on Saturday, and on Sunday, the final day, tryouts were open to the public.  Each candidate was judged on technical skills (motions, stunts, tumbling) with an emphasis on crowd leadership. 

Each cheerleader will receive a scholarship for fall and spring semesters, with amounts based on skills and seniority.  Hannah has already been awarded The Chancellor’s Award, a full tuition academic scholarship for 2012-'16.
