If you buy into high school mythology, you probably imagine cheerleaders trying out for the squad to cement their vote for homecoming queen or to score a date with a football player. But popularity is the last thing on college cheerleaders’ minds. Meet Tarianne Green, who loves being launched 25 feet in the air in basket tosses. Meet Casi Davis, who withstands more than 250 pounds as her teammates build human pyramids on her shoulders. Meet Kali Rae Seitzer, who pulls off tumbling passes on par with Olympic gymnasts. And meet James Brown, a former college football player and wrestler who says cheerleading is the hardest sport he’s ever been a part of. This is the true story of three top college cheerleading teams.
