Overview

"Over 100 years ago a student jumped out in front of the crowd during a University of Minnesota football game and led a yell.

Today's cheerleaders don't stand on the sidelines, they perform on center stage. Is Cheerleading a sport? The debate rages on.

""History of Cheerleading"" explores this fascinating evolution."
