Griffon Spirit is an umbrella program with 3 separate teams: Griffon Cheer, Griffon Dance, and Max the Griffon Mascot. Griffon Spirit is part of the MWSU Athletics Department, providing athletes with exceptional resources and personalized support. With 17 sports on our campus, you can find Griffon Cheer and Dance Teams at a variety of events ranging from football, to basketball, to lacrosse, and more. Griffon Spirit is active outside of athletics as well, participating in campus gatherings, community events, and many other performance opportunities. Griffon Spirit competes both regionally and NATIONALLY at various NCA, NDA, DTU, and IC competitions.
Griffon Cheer and Dance Teams practice 3 days a week and lift 1-2 days a week, in addition to study hours, game days, and other events. Athletes must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher in order to perform and travel.
Our purpose is in our name - SPIRIT! We are passionate about supporting our university while also pursuing excellence in our sports. Our execution is just as important as our culture, and we want you to be part of it.
