The Wichita State Cheer Team
The shocker cheer team is a co-ed squad that consists of thirty members. The WSU cheer team is a visible organization not only on the campus of WSU but to the city of Wichita and surrounding areas. The WSU cheer team also travels to Shockers sporting events and make many appearances around the Wichita area. Along with the duties of supporting shocker sports and the university as a whole WSU cheer team also competes at NCA Collegiate National in Daytona Beach, Fl. The cheerleading team at Wichita State is highly competitive and nationally recognized as one of the top teams in the country.
Try outs for the spirit squad are held in May. In order to help better prepare incoming students for our selection process, we will hold clinics of all individuals interested in trying out . Attending the clinics will give all the chance to learn everything that will be needed during the try out process.
