'Stunning' UCLA Cheerleader Going Viral During NCAA Tournament

A UCLA cheerleader is going viral as the Bruins prepare to get their NCAA Tournament journey started.
UCLA is less than two hours away from tipoff for its first round NCAA Tournament game against Utah State. The seventh-seeded Bruins will take on the 10th-seeded Aggies at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, with the winner moving on to the second round of the Midwest Region where they'll likely face No. 2 seed Tennessee.
"March Madness has officially begun for the Bruins! Tonight @uclambb takes on Utah State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Lexington, KY," said the UCLA Spirit Squad on Instagram earlier today. Tipoff is 9:25 pm local (Eastern) and 6:25 pm on the West Coast — and the game will be broadcast on TNT.We are so excited to cheer on the Bruins, so for those coming to the game, we'll see you at Rupp Arena!"
Featured in the post was senior cheerleader Seanna Mueller-King, who was pictured in action during a recent game.
Mueller-King has been gaining attention on social media as a result of the post.
"Seannaaaaa 😍," one person wrote.
"WERK," a fellow UCLA cheerleader added.
"Go Bruins!!!" a third person said.
"Awesome," a fourth person chimed in.
Mueller-King officially joined the UCLA roster in 2023 after transferring from the University of Michigan.
UCLA Spirit Squad welcomed her with a happy birthday post on Aug. 16 of that year.
"A junior transfer from Ann Arbor, MI, Seanna is the newest member of our Cheer Squad," the post read. "She previously cheered at the University of Michigan and is excited to continue her collegiate cheerleading career at UCLA. Fun fact – today is Seanna's birthday!"
Mueller-King will hopefully be able to root her team on in victory tonight. If not, she'll just have to focus her attention on the Bruins' women's hoops team, which is the No. 1 overall seed in the women's NCAA Tournament.
