Angela Fisher is returning to the competitive cheer team as assistant coach for her third season. A 2002 graduate of the University of Maryland, Fisher has been involved with Maryland cheer teams since her freshman year. She cheered Co-Ed for one year, and All-Girl for three. While a member of Maryland's cheer team, Fisher was chosen to represent them at the 2001 College Obstacle Challenge in New Orleans, La. Fisher was voted captain and was coached by Lura Fleece.
Her cheer experience goes far beyond the University of Maryland. She has been cheering since she was seven, participating in several All-Star cheer teams, both All-Girl and Co-ed. She was also on an All-Star dance team. Fisher's years of experience translated into cheer opportunities even after college. Upon graduating with her degree in family studies, Fisher cheered for three years with the Baltimore Ravens. She was voted captain twice and was honored by her team when she was selected to represent the Ravens cheerleaders at the 2005 NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
Fisher remembers winning college cheer nationals in 1999 as her biggest athletic thrill to date; however, she cites being able to witness and experience the rise of both the football and basketball teams as other notable moments. She was present at the Orange Bowl, cheering for the football team and was cheering on the sidelines when the Maryland men's basketball team captured its NCAA national championship.
At present, Fisher is a kindergarten teacher at Berkshire Elementary School in Forestville, Md., where she is department and grade-level chair. She is currently working towards her master's with the goal of teaching middle school math. Fisher coaches her elementary school's cheer team as well.
