One thing they’ve been searching for is how they get that push up bra effect in their tiny crop tops.
Luckily, the team’s boss Kelli Finglass has shared in a video in which she shared the secret knot trick that boosts boobs in seconds.
In the clip, cheerleader Michelle Siemienowski was seen being fitted for the squad’s iconic uniform – a long-sleeved blue shirt with a cropped waistcoat over the top, teamed with teeny white shorts.
Once she had the ensemble on, Kelli came over to do her knot trick.
She began by crossing the sides of the wrap top over each other, left to right, before doing the first, tight, knot by taking the left side underneath.
Kelli then used some of her impressive strength to pull the knot tighter, before yanking the ends even harder and securing another knot in place.
“Cue the Kelli knot!” they captioned the TikTok video.
“The BEST experience!” Michelle wrote in the comments section.
“I’ve been dreaming of the day I got to experience a Kelli knot!
“So surreal! Such a blessing!”
“Need to know many Kelli knots Kelli has done in her life!” another laughed.
“Kelli has been director since 1991 so if we take a team of 36 each year easily over 1000,” someone else replied.
“Love how the uniform has been consistent all of these decades,” another wrote.
“Truly iconic.”
“Obsessed,” someone else said.
“This is a square knot,” another said.
“Left over right, right over left.
“Same one used to tie girl scout scarfs.”
