SEWARD, Neb. – Shelby Timmerman has made history. The Clatonia, Neb., native has become the first GPAC All-Conference award winner in the history of Concordia University Competitive Cheer. Timmerman was one of 10 cheer athletes named to the all-conference team announced by the GPAC on Tuesday (March 1).
Timmerman served as a major reason why the Bulldogs achieved their highest score in program history in 2022 and placed fourth at the GPAC Cheer Championship. Tweeted Timmerman following the championship, “So exciting! Thank you to all my teammates for supporting and pushing me this season.”
Said Head Coach Mandi Maser, the 2020 GPAC Cheer Coach of the Year, “We were really excited to have Shelby Timmerman be awarded all-conference honors – the first to receive this in Concordia Competitive Cheer history! Shelby has consistently done an amazing job this season and we are proud of her being recognized by the GPAC.”
Some highlights this season for Timmerman and the cheer team were place finishes of second at the Midland Invitational and third at the York College Invitational. The program record score of 76.65 came at the Bethel College Invite in early February. Throughout the 2022 season, the Bulldogs competed at eight events and in 12 total performances.
