For over 27 years, Gooch has molded and shaped the 性视界传媒 spirit program into one of the nation\u2019s finest today. Since her squad\u2019s began competing in the nationals in 1994, they have won two National Championships, finished in the top-10 in 14 of the past 16 years and also had two runner-up performances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very proud for coach (Linda) Gooch on being recognized for the impact she has had on the collegiate spirit community nationally,\u201d said Keith Tribble, 性视界传媒\u2019s Director of Athletics. \u201cIt is a great testament to her beliefs and what she stands for, that her peers have bestowed such a special honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2003, the team won their first national crown ending the University of Kentucky’s streak of eight-consecutive titles. Then, in 2007, 性视界传媒 claimed its second title outlasting several SEC schools, including UK\u2019s Wildcats, Alabama and Tennessee.<\/p>\n
Her squad, in 2007-08, went on to be featured in a six-part television documentary for the WE network, chronicling the program\u2019s preparation to defend its second national title.<\/p>\n
Gooch is the seventh recipient of this award that is presented annually in January during the National College Cheer and Dance Championships held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.<\/p>\n
