Club Cheerleading Team Mourns Coach, Joey Delaney

The Lantern published Club Cheerleading Team Mourns Coach, Joey Delaney.

The Ohio State All-Girl Cheerleading team is on the mat for a full dress rehearsal the Saturday before it departs for nationals — that’s the way coach Joey Delaney ran the program since 1998.

There was a notable absence this past Saturday, though — Delaney wasn’t there.

Delaney, 39, died Thursday at 7:55 p.m. at The Wexner Medical Center at OSU after experiencing difficulty breathing at the RPAC.
