We're excited to share an important update about the continued growth of student life and athletics at McMurry.
The university is expanding its cheer and dance programs, reflecting an ongoing investment in opportunities that enhance campus spirit, student involvement, and the overall McMurry experience.
Cheer and dance are already an important part of campus life, supporting athletic events and building school spirit. This next phase focuses on elevating both programs through additional resources, dedicated coaching, and improved training environments.
A key part of this effort is the renovation of an existing gym facility, which is currently underway. Once complete, the space will serve as a shared home for cheer and dance, featuring modern training amenities designed to support skill development, performance preparation, and team growth.
To support this growth, McMurry will hire full-time coaches for both programs in Summer 2026. These leaders will play a vital role in shaping recruitment, skill development, and future competitive opportunities.
We look forward to the positive impact this expansion will have on our students and campus community. For more information about McMurry Athletics, visit mcmurrysports.com.
