Brianna Wuria, a senior and cheerleader at Calhoun High School, was selected as a U.S. Army All American Cheerleader and will travel to Texas in mid-December to cheer at the Dallas Cowboys practice facility.

Wuria is heading to Frisco, TX on Dec. 18 to practice and perform at the U.S. Army High School Football Bowl game on Dec. 21.
She was selected based upon her performance/results at the College Cheer Combine over the summer in New Jersey.

Only 40 cheerleaders across the country were invited to attend this program.

“This is an unparalleled opportunity to perform with the top cheerleaders in the class of 2025 in the nation,” the announcement email stated. “Being named a U.S. Army All American is a big honor and very select.”

According to her coach at Calhoun, Elana Hirschman, Wuria has been an exceptional member of the team who has performed and competed on the varsity squad since freshman year. 

“Now in her fourth year and serving as one of our captains, she exemplifies what it means to be a cheerleader,” Hirschman added. “Brianna consistently puts in 100 percent effort at every practice, game, competition, and event, demonstrating her dedication and passion for the sport.”

As a leader, Hirschman said Wuria assists her teammates, with the goal of fostering a supportive and collaborative environment.

“Her eagerness to learn and drive to continually improve herself inspires everyone around her,” Hirschman added. 

Wuria hopes to continue her passion for the sport at the college level.
