You might have heard about this Saintsation cheerleaders. Her name’s Kriste Lewis and she’s making headlines. At 40 years old, she’s the oldest Saintsation to ever make the squad.
“I am 40. I think I look 40, and I’m proud of that. I am the most senior Saintsation and the oldest to ever audition,” she said.
Lewis is proving pom-pom shaking doesn’t have an age limit.
“Go for it. Don’t let age hold you back. Don’t let feeling like your past your prime, stop you. If something is bothering you or maybe you have an illness. Don’t let it hold you back from going after you want.”
She’s found joy in the whole process and enjoys dance training again.
“I’m doing dance moves that I haven’t done since I was a little girl,” she said.
As a little girl she always wanted to be an NFL cheerleader. It wasn’t until her 40th birthday came along that she decided to mark the milestone by trying out.
“You got to remember what you enjoyed as a child. As adults we get stuck in our everyday grind and we forget what gave us joy as a child. Usually whatever gives you joy as a child, it will give you joy as an adult,” Lewis said.
Dancing obviously brings her joy, but sod does being a wife to her husband, Tim and a mom to her two sons, 14-year old, Jake and 11-year old, Rob.
“That’s my mom. It’s unbelievable,” Jake said.
“Some of my friends are like, your mom is an NFL cheerleader, and I’m like, yes, she is,” Rob said.
Living in the moment is important to Kriste, especially because she knows in 10 years, she’ll face a health challenge.
“I have polycystic kidney disease, or PKD. It just means cysts grow on my kidneys. Around age 50, my kidneys will lose function and they’ll shut down. I’ll need dialysis and a transplant. I don’t want to waste any time. I want to make memories. That is what this whole experience has been all about,” Lewis said.
Since becoming a Saintsation, she’s been making memories with the other “saintsational” ladies on the team. They respect her and feel age really is just a number.
Saintsation Becca said, “I’m 21 and I think it takes charisma to be a Saintsation, at any age.”
Saintsation Alixx said, “I’m 19 and I think it takes educated and sassy to be a Saintsation, at any age.”
When you see Kriste at the games cheering on Drew Brees and the boys, you’ll most likely be amazed because she really doesn’t look 40.
“I’m a lady. Of course, I love a compliment like that. That makes me feel good,” she said.
Kriste lives in Hattisburg, Mississippi, where she is a dance instructor.

Champion Legacy Cheer & Dance Studio is home to several world-champion teams, but the Sioux Falls studio is also where a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader got her start.
“In Sioux Falls when I was growing up, I danced for Champion Legacy, which is a gym that my mother started actually when I was in high school,” said Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Ashley F.
Her love of dance has deep roots in South Dakota.
“I was born in Huron, SD and I did ballet I did Jazz, tap growing up, we moved to Sioux Falls the summer before 6th grade…I also did ballet and jazz classes and I was a Washington High School high stepper,” said Ashley.
She also taught at her mom’s dance studio throughout college, but soon realized she wanted to further her education.
“Following my undergrad at the University of Nebraska, I decided I wanted to go on and get my Master’s Degree at St. Edwards University in Austin; when I finished I realized I really missed dance in my life and I wasn’t done performing,” said Ashley.
In 2012, Ashley tried out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and earned a spot on the team.
“Getting to do something that I grew up doing that I’ve loved since I was a six-year-old little girl in the coolest environment and the biggest stage in sports in the United States is just such a cool experience. We get to dance at AT&T stadium in front of crowds of 100,000 people and that is just awesome,” said Ashley.
This weekend, she continued to share that passion for performing with her former students in Sioux Falls.
“She’s been my coach since I was two and a half years old. She’s really nice and I was sad when she left, but I like watching her on TV,” said Sioux Falls 5th Grader Ellie Walker.
For these students, Ashley is living proof that hard work really can pay off.
“Ashley made her dream come true so now we know our dreams can come true too,” said 5th grader Lauren Sutcliffe.
Brick Bodies in Timonium was the location for Baltimore Blast Cheerleader Auditions earlier this month.
Hopefuls endured two rounds of cuts on audition day…
And then a week of bootcamp.
Finalists competed for a spot on the 2014-15 a week later. Photos coming soon.
