What is STUNT to OSU? The practice gym in Gallagher-Iba Arena boasts the success of its basketball programs as it prominently features banners that cover the walls from end to end. Banners showcasing Final Four runs, Elite Eight appearances and conference championships – the success is hard to ignore. But the team that is practicing in that gym might be the most successful out of anyone who uses it – the four-time national champion OSU STUNT team. STUNT, led by head coach Lindsay Bracken, uses the facility multiple times a week as they prepare for its upcoming season and a chance to win their fifth national championship. Bracken, who hails from Michigan, has made a home and built something special in Stillwater. She cheered at the University of Michigan while in school and then made the move to Oklahoma after graduation. “I met Leroy McCullough at a cheer camp and asked him if he would be willing to take a grad student at Oklahoma State,” Bracken said. “He said yes and so I came and tried out and cheered at OSU for five years.” McCullough is now the coach of the Team USA cheer squad and has turned the entire cheer program at Oklahoma State over to Bracken. McCullough won multiple national titles in Stillwater and Bracken has continued that legacy. Since the STUNT team was founded in 2011 and has won four national championships in its five years being active. While Bracken wants to win, she is focused on something bigger than titles – making STUNT an NCAA sport. “STUNT is going for emerging sport status this year,” Bracken said. “Emerging-sport status is essentially the transition between club sport and NCAA-sanctioned sport.” If STUNT becomes an NCAA sport that will allow the team to recruit with resources outside of Stillwater which would only further the success that the program has had. Despite the four national championships, countless All-Americans and the emerging-sport status, Bracken's main objective is one thing – getting better. “The goal is to keep getting better,” Bracken said. “ I want us to put out a product that makes Oklahoma State look good. There have been teams that didn’t win but I was really proud of, and teams that did win where I feel like we didn’t give our best.” The big-picture mindset that Bracken has is what you want in a coach that is leading one of your most successful programs. Although there aren’t any banners on those walls in Gallagher-Iba now, that could change if Bracken keeps the STUNT team moving in the right direction.
