Colts cheerleader earns Pro Bowl spot after father’s death


Colts cheerleader Vanessa Wahl

When Vanessa Wahl started as a cheerleader for the Colts four seasons ago, she wrote down one thing in her journal every single day: to be a Pro Bowl cheerleader.

“I wanted to be the Pro Bowl cheerleader for all it encompasses,” Wahl says. “Being the ultimate cheerleader for everyone.”

After a challenging year, Wahl’s father, Jason Mueller, had stage II colon cancer and died in July 2021. So, the moment Wahl learned she was a Pro Bowl cheerleader was even more magical than just the announcement itself.
