STUNT (Cheer)
Posted: Thu May 18, 2023 1:30 pm
This one is really new to college athletics, having just been approved as an NCAA sport this last year. STUNT was created by USA Cheer as an opportunity to meet Title IX requirements of a "sport".
Here's the college STUNT website which will tell you a lot more about who all participates: https://collegestunt.org/
In the OVC, UT Martin has it. Other nearby schools include: Concordia University and Dominican University (in the Chicago area); Maryville, Missouri Baptist, and Fontbonne (in the St. Louis area), as well as Buena Vista University in northwestern Iowa, Drury University in southwestern Missouri, and Central Methodist in central Missouri. It looks like it's really taken off in Michigan (8 schools), Ohio (7 schools), California (15 schools), and in the Oklahoma and eastern Texas region. Many of the schools only have it as a club sport though. The only DI schools that competed with it as a sponsored sport this last year was Cal Baptist, Kentucky, and UT-Martin.
It's essentially competitive head-to-head cheer/tumbling. This page has a series of videos that explains what it's all about: https://stuntthesport.org/about/
