PSU Spirit Squad
Mission Statement

** OPEN TRYOUTS, APR. 26-27, 2008 **

    The Spirit Squad of Pittsburg State University has as their ultimate goal the support of intercollegiate sport programs and the promotion of school spirit for the University as a whole.
    The Spirit Squad will strive to be “good-will ambassadors” of the University and of the community through the involvement in and promotion of programs and activities.
    They will work together to attain excellence in their performance with the ultimate goal of competition at the national level.

The PSU Spirit Squad Captured the 2000-01 NCAA Division II National Championship, and the Spirit Squad Recently Placed Fourth at the 2005-06 NCAA Division II ESPN College Championships at Orlando, Fla.

    Pittsburg State proudly boasts their unique mascot, Gus the Gorilla! Tryouts for Gus are at the same time as the spirit squad tryouts. The main requirement is to create a small routine involving crowd participation, making people laugh and showing Pitt State spirit.
