The Northern Kentucky University Cheerleaders are an integral part of the Department of Athletics, the University, and the Northern Kentucky community. The cheerleaders pride themselves in their goals to promote spirit and support for NKU, and to encourage positive crowd participation at all men’s and women’s home basketball games. Additionally, the cheerleaders are involved with many activities on campus and in the community. The cheerleaders compete annually at the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) National Collegiate Cheerleading Competition and were National Champions in 2006, 2007, 2009 & 2010.

“Victor the Viking" is the NKU Official Mascot and is also part of the spirit program. Victor became an instant fan favorite when he was first introduced in 2005. Victor poses for hundreds of pictures and signs hundreds of autographs at games and community appearances each year.

The Northern Kentucky University Cheerleaders are building a new tradition of spirit at NKU!!!  Be a part of it!!!
