The highly competitive world of national cheerleading competition takes front and center in Netflix's new docuseries Cheer. We talked to Navarro_Cheer's MorganSimianer about her overnight fame, sharing her story, and more
In the fall of 2018, Morgan Simianer's main goal was to simply be the best cheerleader she can be — which included locking in one of the 20 available spots on the mat when Navarro College, a community school in Corsicana, Texas, would compete at the National Cheerleading Association’s annual National Championships in Daytona Beach, Florida.
MTV News catches up with Simianer, who recently completed her associates degree in sociology, and is now taking a dual enrollment program through Navarro College and Texas A&M Commerce so that she can continue to compete with her squad. Here, she talks about the process of juggling both her cheer duties and her school work in front of the camera, her relationship with Aldama, and why she’s hoping the 2020 championships will be different in at least one major way.
MTV News: Your relationship with Monica in particular is something that I think a lot of people can relate to. Has that relationship stayed the same?Our relationship is still very close because I'm still here at Navarro. We've had a little bit of time to talk about the show, but it has blown up more than we ever would have imagined. We've been trying to catch up, and do interviews and find time to eat and sleep.
It's a little bit scary, especially because I really do care about how people view me. I just trusted that the Netflix crew was going to capture an accurate representation of who I am. MTV News: Is there any moment that the show captured without your watching and you wish you could have gone back and done differently?Not really. Except for crying, but it’s part of it. It just shows actual emotion, so I wouldn't change anything.
