For the second successive year there is a Greene County connection on the Indianapolis Colts’ cheerleader squad.

Sally Jo Small, a 2007 Bloomfield Junior-Senior High School graduate, was recently picked to help lead the sideline cheers for the NFL pro football squad in Indianapolis.

The 2012 Colts Cheerleaders were determined at the Audition Showcase on Tuesday night at Decatur Central High School near Indianapolis.

The event consisted of several dance routines, an evening wear and a swimsuit competition.

Approximately 65 women competed for the opportunity to be a member of the 2012 Colts Cheerleaders after a three-week audition process.

Small graduated from Purdue University at West Lafayette in December with a degree in Organizational Leadership and Supervision.

Sally is the daughter of Mike and Mindy Small of Bloomfield, and the granddaughter of Ret. U.S. Air Force Col. Marcus “Red” Oliphant, also of Bloomfield.

At Purdue, she was a member of the Goldusters Dance Team.
