UNC cheer team, too, fulfilling dreams at Final Four

Posted Mar 31, 2016
I started cheering when I was 4 years old. One of the first goals I remember having was to become a Carolina Cheerleader and don that powder blue uniform on the sideline at the Dean E. Smith Center. Fast-forward 18 years: I’ve cheered in the Dean Dome too many times to count and am flying to Houston to cheer on my beloved Tar Heels in the NCAA's Final Four. (WRAL Sports Fan)
