INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Colts invited Ella Whistler to become an NFL cheerleader for a day during Sunday’s game at Lucas Oil.
The 8th grader performed a routine with the Colts cheer team between the first and second quarters.

Earlier in the game, she sang The National Anthem along with Noblesville West’s choir.
“I get to do a lot of different things now because of this and I think it’s really cool to have this experience a life-time experience that no-one ever really gets to do,” Ella Whistler said.
