IN any other circumstance switching allegiance from the Sea Eagles to the Cowboys would border on heresy.
But cheerleader Angela Nicoteri isn’t heading to Manly ‘s northern NRL rivals – she’s made history by becoming the first Australian woman accepted into the world-famous Dallas Cowboys cheer squad.
The 26-year-old, from Sydney’s northern beaches, survived an intense eight-week program to secure a spot in the final 34 cheerleaders of America’s iconic NFL club. About 540 women tried out for the squad, nicknamed America’s Sweethearts.
Ms Nicoteri, who recently completed a bachelors degree in chiropractic science, has been a cheerleader for the Manly Seabirds for nine seasons.
“I am beyond proud and beyond excited,” Manly Seabirds director Monique Carroll said.
