WMU Cheerleading remembers Damond Carpenter

The former high school football player was athletic and didn’t run into much trouble when it came to making the team, but his fellow cheerleading peers saw much more than athleticism from the freshman.

“We added more cheerleaders in the fall and after a few practices they would earn their gear, their practice clothes and shoes,” WMU Cheer Coach Chris Wang said. “So when I handed it to him he had the biggest smile on his face he was so excited. As soon as he got his bag, he ran to the bathroom to put on what the rest of the team was wearing and somehow his smile got bigger.
