Don’t doubt yourself. Always go and pursue your dreams.

The Ohio State University cheer team has many talented team members, but one in particular stands out for her top-notch stunting and enthusiasm for the Bucks. Lexi Schilling and her partner Carter Marsh were the first couple in years to qualify from OSU to compete at UCA College Nationals in the partner stunt competition.

The Varsity TV crew followed the talented couple through their partner stunt experience as well as their team competition in Division 1A Large Coed. Watch the original documentary The Ohio State University: Building The Buckeyes on Wednesday, March 15th, 2017 when it’s released exclusively on Varsity TV.
