WACO, Texas - Baylor's newest varsity sport got its inaugural season off to an unofficial start when competitive cheer held a mock meet Sunday at the Ferrell Center.

"It was a good practice run for us to get the jitters out and work through some kinks," head coach Karry Forsythe said. "There are a few things that I was a little disappointed in, but overall I think the girls did a great job. As athletes, they are really pushing through some bumps and bruises, and they overcame a lot of adversity today so I'm really proud of them."
