Starr Spangler has a tremendous background in dance, gymnastics and cheerleading. So it was very fiiting that in 2005, at the age of 18, she prepared for Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders tryouts and hoped for the best. As seen on “Making the Team: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” (the reality show about the audition process for the DCCs), Starr confidently completed the intense summer boot camp training process and joined her new teammates on the renowned Texas Stadium field for her rookie season as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.
Starr remained with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders for three amazing seasons. Her time with the Cowboys included; Three seasons of CMT’s “Making The Team”, USO Tours to Cuba and Puerto Rico, two Calendar shoots in Mexico, CBS 11 Football Promotions commercial, National Thanksgiving commercial, House Hunters Dallas episode, Wife Swap episode, “Invincible” appearance with Mark Wahlberg, magazine appearances in Maxim, Health&Fitness, Men’s Health, Access Magazine, DCC Billboard 2006, Game Day Cover 2007, Ibraces promotional face, performances with Journey, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Jason Eldean and several others. It was an incredible journey where Starr truly grew from a girl to a woman, learning the ins and outs of the media entertainment industry in a classy way. Starr was inspired by the media entertainment industry and hopes to pursue a career on the business side of the industry. She met her best friends during her time with the Cowboys, and the organization will always hold a huge place in her heart.
As Starr approached her senior year of college, thoughts of whether or not to stay in Texas with the Cowboys rang in her ears. After randomly seeing an Amazing Race repeat episode one day, she decided to call her brother Nick, demanding it was now or never once again. She flew to see him in Colorado, and in two days they put together their audition video, sent it to CBS, and hoped for the best. As she and Nick prepared for the race it was clear that new doors were opening and her time in Texas was coming to a close. Starr graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas Christian University and is currently an Analytical Behavior Analyst, working with autistic children.
Starr left Texas and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders to pursue another ambitious dream she had: racing around the world for one million dollars with her best friend - brother Nick Spangler, a stage actor. And, as they say, the rest is history. For more info on Nick and Starr's achievement, click on the link below.
