senior cocaptain Danielle Stathakis'
last year of cheerleading ended before the season began due to a torn
meniscus. She had surgery on Jan. 3.

Stathakis couldn't be on the
floor with her team Saturday, but she still got to cheer on the Jags to a
second-place finish.

"It's exciting; we were expected to win but we are still excited
and proud," Stathakis said about the team's
best finish in school history.

Next year Stathakis will attend Central Michigan. Stathakis
has one message for the returning cheerleaders, "Leave it on the
mat."
