2007 Cheerleading National Championship Team - UCF Hall of Fame Class of 2023
The 2007 cheerleading national championship team was inducted into the UCF Hall of Fame as members of the Class of 2023.
The Knights finished first in the Division IA Cheer finals of the 2007 College Nationals Cheerleading and Dance Team Championship at Walt Disney Wide World of Sports.
The 2007 title was the second in a five-year span, following the groundwork laid by the 2003 championship team. The cheer program made the jump from Division I-AA in the fall of 1996 and earned a pair of national titles in less than a decade.
The squad was coached by UCF Hall of Famer Linda Gooch along with assistant coaches Ginny Hitt, Mike Pare and Ryan Rinaldi. Team members included Allie Morgan, Ashley Draper, Brian White, Brittney Farrell, Chris Stadler, Christal Velez, Cory Brown, Jake Waldrup, Joe Mortenson, Keegan Hubbard, Kendall Wulff Brookover, Kimmy Barker Pruitt, Lauren Segall, Meghan Myer, Mike Pucci, Randy Brown, Stefan Domenig, Tim Johnson and Tyson Walters.
