Spirit, Tradition, Celebration: Centenary’s 2025 Homecoming Week

As of Jan. 16, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) officially recognized stunt as a championship sport. After steadily growing in popularity over the past couple years, the sport’s first NCAA championship is set to be held in Spring 2027.
On the creation of stunt as a sport, Centenary Assistant Coach Destiny Duhon said, “Cheer will never be recognized as a NCAA sport because there's too many different variances of how cheer is in different areas.” To remedy this, stunt brings the skills and techniques associated with Cheer and transfers them to a head-on-head competition. All teams learn the same routines, then in competition, they perform them across from one another. The game is played in four quarters, each quarter focusing on some facet originally seen in Cheer. The team that performs the routine best in that quarter receives the point.

College athletics result in thousands of injuries every season, which is why having immediate medical attention is so important for athletes. Here at Centenary, we are lucky enough to have the service of head athletic trainer Brandon Henschel, along with trainers Hallie Little and Kristen Bryant. These three see numerous athletes every day in the training room and take on the responsibility of helping them regain their complete health. Without them, the health of Centenary’s athletic department would deteriorate quickly. However, having our trainers allows athletes to perform at the highest possible level. Since our athletic trainers are so vital to the success of college athletics, we got the opportunity to learn more about our head trainer, Brandon Henschel, and his experiences at Centennial thus far.
