Cheerleading Coach

Abbey Bedenbaugh is in her first year as coach of the SMC Cheerleading team for the 2007-2008 season. In addition to her role as Cheer Coach, Bedenbaugh is also a financial aid counselor at SMC.

Abbey, 23, graduated from Wofford College in 2006 with a BA in Sociology. She is an alumnus of SMC, where she was recipient of a cheerleading and softball scholarship, and was hired in the summer of 2007 as an admissions counselor for the college.  She was recently married to Jamey Bedenbaugh, of Prosperity, SC. The couple live in Chesnee.

Abbey’s love for cheerleading began as early as kindergarten. She cheered for Chesnee Community Center and Boiling Springs Little League until 7th grade. She cheered basketball for Boiling Springs Jr. High for one year. In her freshman year of high school she was chosen as a member of the Varsity Football Competition Cheerleading Team where her squad raked 8th in the state. She worked passionately with her team for four years to keep their squad top ranked. Abbey started cheering at Spartanburg Methodist College in the fall of 2002. She has continued to enjoy her passion for cheerleading through coaching, judging try-outs and competitions, and private lessons. Please feel free to contact Abbey with any question or concerns.
