“I am very excited about Halie’s willingness to take on this role and believe that she is exactly what our program needs at this time,” Associate Athletic Director Angie Osbon said.
“I want to lay the foundation for the future of Pacer cheerleading. I want this year to be the start of a legacy of pride, honor and success for Pacer Cheerleading. We want to help propel USC Aiken athletics to the top of every sport through our support and to the top in cheerleading through our excellence at games and in competition. Our ultimate goal will be to be a tight squad on and off the floor, and a squad of high integrity. I look forward to celebrating many victories this year and beyond and I cannot wait for the great things that will happen in and through our squad! Go Pacers!”
