"The cheer and dance teams are an important part of the whole athletic environment. These teams provide a whole lot of support to the athletic teams and they provide a level of entertainment to the crowd. We really want to support their program the best way that we can. We are excited about having Amanda take this program to the next level." -Jerrod Samber, NJC Athletic Director
