DCC Alumni Spotlight – Nancy Harrison
Nancy Harrison is someone you and I would consider a pioneer of the team we now call the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. During a time when you had to be a high school student to try out for the squad, Nancy, a 17 year old senior, was one of many to show up to tryouts in her culottes at Highland Park Gymnasium. To her excitement, she was one of the few who were selected for the 1968 CowBelles & Beaux, the coed cheer squad who represented the Dallas

On February 25, I met Jayne Ann Maxwell Kuhn for coffee and had the pleasure of hearing about her journey as a DCC. Jayne only cheered for one year in 1980. Her journey started while she was a cheerleader at UNT. Tex Schramm and Suzanne Mitchell were walking around campus one day and saw her and thought she would be a perfect cheerleader.

DCC Alumni Spotlight – Abby Bertrand Heasley
I was so thrilled when I found out I was going to be interviewing DCC Alumni, Abby Bertrand Heasley. Having the honor of growing up around the organization, I knew Abby during her journey of being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. It was so nice to catch up with her and talk to her as a DCC sister, especially since she was once a role model for me when I was little. Abby grew up loving the Dallas Cowboys. She dressed as a cheerleader for Halloween when she was
DCC Alumni Spotlight – Becky Delano Ohmes
Becky Ohmes was a Rookie Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader in 1989, the year that Jerry Jones became the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. She grew up in Farmers Branch, TX and said that she had always idolized the DCC.

She had a friend that decided to audition, which

One of my favorite takeaways was listening to Commissioner Baker speak, as he emphasized what a “wonderful job we
