Super fans are common at Baylor athletic events — living human ones are, at least. When No. 1 Baylor acrobatics and tumbling hits the road Tuesday morning for the NCATA National Championships to defend their title in Eugene, Ore., the team will have Miss Girl, a mannequin-turned-fan, on the sidelines.
Originally, this figure was supposed to showcase different sets of jerseys on display, but one Halloween practice changed everything and turned the lifeless dummy into an integral part of the team.
“It kind of all started on Halloween when we all had our costumes on for practice and the mannequin happened to be out here,” senior base Kate Puentes said.
