CHEERLEADER FRIDAY

by DCScrap, Editor

Wow ... another brutal week. We need something to get this Friday night party started right. Hey, how about a look at a cheerleader?!

With the big Illinois/Ohio State tilt on the sked for the weekend, what better person to meet this week than one of Columbus, Ohio's finest? Today we meet one of the hearts of Buckeye spirit. Her name is Emily Seagraves and she is from West Chester, Ohio. You go, homegirl.

Emily is a senior majoring in Communication Analysis and Practice. Wow, that's a mouthful, Emily. Good thing that's your major or you'd never be able to say it! I kid.

Emily was born August 7, 1986, so that makes her a Leo (which means she is creative, generous and proud, but can also be bossy, patronizing and snobbish. We'll pretend those last three things don't apply here, ok?)

Emily also is upset with the misconception that cheerleaders are not athletes. Preachin' to the choir, Em, preachin' to the choir.

She says her best physical feature is her big blue eyes. Yes, your eyes are big.

The five people she'd like to have dinner with are Kelly Ripa, Nancy Grace, Brady Quinn, Stephen Colletti and Lucille Ball. Same as me! Especially Kelly Ripa.

We hope you enjoyed this week's look at one of this country's finest athletes and entertainers. Be sure to check back next week when we profile yet another one of America's sweethearts of the sidelines.
