Nash adds duties as national cheer coach
Morehead State University’s Tony Nash, spirit coordinator, has been named a head coach of the USA 
Cheer national team.
The USA Federation for Sport Cheerleading, also known as USA Cheer, has begun the process of selecting two national teams to represent the United States at the International Cheer Union’s 2009 World Cup. Sixty top cheerleaders will be chosen to form an all-girl and a coed team.
Nash was named head coach of the national teams along with James Speed, head coach of the University of Louisville cheerleading squads, and Jomo Thompson, head coach of the University of Kentucky cheerleading squads.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the cheerleading industry,” said Nash. “I am excited to be a part of this event to help promote and coach Team USA. We will work with some of the best athletes from all across the United States, and I think it is an honor to represent our country at the international level,” he said.
The announcement of the USA Cheer national team will be made on Jan. 18 during the 2009 College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship at the Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla.
Nash is in his fifth year as the head cheerleading coach and spirit coordinator at MSU. He has led the MSU teams to six national championships. MSU has won an unprecedented 24 UCA College National Championships.
