📣 Rise and Shout: Four BYU Cheer Seniors Who Embody Cougar Spirit — Walker, Lund, Richey, and Larsen Celebrate Their Legacy
Provo, UT — As the 2025 season dawns, BYU fans aren’t just celebrating touchdowns and triumphs — they’re honoring four iconic figures who’ve lifted the Cougar spirit for years from the sidelines, acrobatic heights, and center court. Seniors Walker, Lund, Richey, and Larsen are bidding farewell to the squad, but not before leaving a legacy etched in energy, grace, and unshakable school pride.
These four cheerleaders have been far more than performers — they’ve been the living heartbeat of LaVell Edwards Stadium and the Marriott Center. Through frigid late-night games, cross-country road trips, national championships, and viral halftime stunts, they brought consistency, class, and courage to every event.
> “They don’t just wear the uniform — they carry the spirit of BYU on their backs,” said head coach Jodi Maxfield. “Their leadership has transformed the culture of this team.”
Walker is known for his dynamic strength and flying tosses that rattle social media feeds. Lund, a crowd favorite, brought poise and technical perfection to every game-day routine. Richey, the squad’s emotional center, was often the first to hype the team before competitions, while Larsen’s infectious smile and flawless timing made her the face of the team’s sideline routines.
Together, this senior class helped lead BYU Cheer to national acclaim in competitions and elevated fan engagement to record levels.
With graduation looming, the squad — and Cougar Nation — says farewell. But their impact will echo far beyond the cheers. They defined what it means to wear blue with pride.
