A Look Inside

With two all girl teams and one large coed team, Lindenwood University is dominating the mat! With three two hour practices, and two hour work outs a week these college teams are well are there way to getting a championship ring. With Nationals the beginning of April and NAIA in February these teams are taking every opportunity they can to prepare for these competitions.


At every football and basketball game you can see the teams performing difficult stunts and practicing their tumbling so nothing goes wrong in the future. Holli Linden said, “We are working really hard to get and maintain our skills now so we don’t have to worry about it when Nationals rolls around!”


In previous years Lindenwood University has done very well at Nationals and NAIA. Lindenwood has won NIAI for six years in a row, for the exception of a devastating second place finishing to Missouri Valley. As well as making a name for themselves at Nationals when placing second in 2006.


Keep an eye on the Lions this year, they are putting in the work and taking the extra time to perfect everything from jumps, to stunts, to tumbling. We will see if their hard work pays off. Good Luck Lions! To read more about the Lindenwood Lions click HERE.
