During yesterday’s Panthers/Falcons game, the Panthers announced their 2011 TopCat of the Year. The TopCat of the Year is chosen by the TopCats themselves, and this year the honor goes to Laura R. Laura, a 4 year veteran, was selected because of her kind spirit, caring leadership, and dedication to the team. In addition to TopCat of the Year honors, she will also represent the Carolina Panthers Cheerleaders at the 2012 Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Congratulations, Laura!

Group hug!

Tennessee Titans Cheerleader Brooke has had quite a season! She started the season finding out that she was calendar cover girl for the Titans Cheerleaders swimsuit calendar, and now she is going to Hawaii as the Pro Bowl representative! Brooke and her dance studio (which is quite a bit north of Nashville in Kentucky) were recently featured on Titans Online.

Stacie Kinder, the Titans Director of Cheerleading, is utterly delighted that Brooke will have the honor of being part of the Pro Bowl festivities. “I am so thrilled for Brooke to represent the Titans in this season’s Pro Bowl, Stacie says. “Brooke is talented, beautiful, and dedicated to the Titans Cheerleaders. It’s her sixth season on the team and she drives over an hour from Kentucky, where she owns a dance studio, for every practice. She’s become the face of Titans Cheerleading over the years, and we couldn’t be sending a more deserving woman to Hawaii.”

Congratulations Brooke! Aloha!

Jacksonville Sharks Attack Dance Team

The Sharks Attack Dance Team are under the Direction of Kimberly Newbern. Kimberly is just finishing up her second season running the squad.

Her background in cheering and dance includes over thirty individual National Championships. Kimberly cheered for three seasons with the Jacksonville ROAR and even traveled to Greenland to perform for the troops.

In 2007 she was asked to audition for the movie Bring It On-In It to Win It, where she coincidentally played a Shark and Shet dancer.

Director/Choreographer Kimberly Newbern

Today Kimberly has her own gym, (First Class Athletics) where she coaches the Sharks stunt team. She’s also been a member of Sweethearts for Soldiers since 2008, traveling to the Middle East to perform for the troops.  As she continues to grow her team, she’s looking forward to getting the squad involved with supporting the military.

Assistant Director Dr. Jill, PharmD

This season Jill hung up her boots and took over as Assistant Director.

Another member of Sweethearts for Soldiers,  Jill’s also a full-time pharmacist with a national retailer. (I won’t mention any names, but their logo is a big red bulls-eye). She’s having a wonderful (and busy) time running her own pharmacy again. But there’s till time for some R&R. She recently celebrated her 1st anniversary with a trip to Central America.
