BROKEN BOW- Sydney Jacobsen put pen to paper in front of friends, family, coaches, and teammates on Thursday afternoon in the Broken Bow gym, indicating her commitment to the Midland University cheer team.
Jacobsen told KCNI/KBBN that her cheerleading journey started at a young age.
“For me, it started when I was seven years old, because I was in gymnastics for a while; and then I kind of grew out of that.” said Jacobsen. “Once I came to high school, I joined the cheer team and I realized I could put my tumbling to use here.”
When asked about her favorite memories during her high school career, Jacobsen didn’t have to think long before naming her number one.
“Freshman year of state. It’s the year we won, we won traditionals the first year that first year that section of state came out. It was just really fun because we only had one senior on the team, so we kind of just did it for her that year and we came out on top.”
Jacobsen felt a strong sense of community when it came to Midland University, where she plans to study human biology.
“When I went and visited, it just seemed like everybody really knew each other and that the professors actually cared about their classes and the people that were in it. The coach really made me fall in love with it, she’s super nice and very supportive. The team, their atmosphere is just insane.”
