After a whirlwind week of competing in Daytona, Fla. for a national cheerleading competition, where the Oswego State cheerleaders placed sixth, Sammy Yeh is living life to the fullest as her junior year quickly comes to a close. Find her roaming around campus and quickly drop a Harry Potter line or two, then open a door for her to catch her eye. Just don’t say cheerleading isn’t a sport or you may lose your shot just as fast!
