“I’m extremely proud of this team and these athletes,” head cheer coach Skylar Casey said, per a release from the university. “They worked so hard for this accomplishment, and they completely deserve it. The culture and standard that this team set is extraordinary.”
In addition to claiming the 2025 All Girl crown, Ole Miss finished fourth in the D1A Spirit Program Game Day category while the coed squad finished ninth nationally in the traditional cheer section.
