Cheer, Cheer for

Donnelly (R) and Fagan (L): Not a law firm, just ND Cheerleaders

... old Notre Dame! We know how enthusiastic the Gentlemen of St. Edward’s Hall can be for all things Notre Dame. However, two freshman, messers Charlie Donnelly and Conal Fagan went one step further and sealed a place on the cheerleading team of the Fighting Irish. Two intense days of final practices culminated in their tryouts. Suffice it to say, but the tryout was filled with anxiety and nerves and, you guessed it, cheer. Despite the fatigued muscles and tired minds, they rose above the challenge as the Gentlemen do and succeeded in this endeavor!

After making the team, Fagan said, “Never did I think that I would be doing cheerleading at college. It’s a bit of a difference from the usual arena of the soccer field but I am excited about the journey that lies ahead for us all. I can assure you, throwing people in the air is much easier than it looks, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am delighted that I convinced Charlie to join me.” 

BUT IT’S NOT OVER! The resident Irishman, Fagan, will be going one step further when he attempts to become THE ND Leprechaun. No challenge is too great for this Stedsman, and “Lepreconal” has a certain ring to it.
