TIFFANY HOLMAN
PRESIDENT
My husband, Justin, two children, Jace and Dillyn, and I have lived in Bennington since 2015. Dillyn is currently a 4th grader at Anchor Pointe Elementary, while Jace is a 6th grader at Bennington South Middle School.
With a passion for youth development, I've coached Youth Cheer for two seasons and was recently elected as the Bennington Youth Cheer Board President for the 2025 season. My background in cheerleading includes cheering on coed teams in both high school and college.
You can often find me on the sidelines, cheering for my kids in youth basketball, baseball, football, and cheer. I believe that youth programs like cheerleading play a vital role in nurturing leadership, commitment, discipline, accountability, teamwork, and resilience in young athletes. I feel incredibly honored to be part of this organization and to make a lasting impact on our youth.
JENNY STOKES
VICE PRESIDENT
My husband, Jeremy, and I have three wonderful children: Brynley (10), Braelynn (8), and Brylee (3). The two oldest attend Heritage Elementary and are very active in youth sports.
We have been participating in Bennington Youth Cheer since 2020. During the last four years, I've had the privilege of serving on the board and also coaching for the last two.
I bring a passion for empowering young athletes and am focused on ensuring the long-term success of this program. I am so excited for the upcoming season!
AMANDA THOME
CHEER COMMISSIONER
My husband and I have three children: Ragnar (10), Aria (8), and Everly (7), all of whom attend Anchor Pointe Elementary, where I also work. Our family has been proud to call this community home for the past four years and we truly appreciate everything Bennington has to offer.
With five years of personal youth cheer experience and ten years of coaching-including four within this program—I am passionate about the sport. After serving on the board for the past two years, I’m excited to continue in the role of Cheer Commissioner while also serving as the Social Media Coordinator. Some of my favorite memories come from my time in youth cheer, and I’m thrilled for my daughters to create lasting memories of their own. I am deeply committed to making this program as meaningful and impactful as possible.
NICOLE COLWELL
TREASURER
My husband, Craig, and I have five children; Grayson (5th), Savannah (3rd), Amellia (1st), Mia, and Ryla. We’ve have lived in Bennington since 2017. My 2 oldest and I have been involved with BYC for three years, and I’ve had the privilege of serving on the board for two.
I’m proud to serve as a volunteer coach and board member with BYC, helping athletes grow both on and off the field while fostering teamwork, confidence, and sportsmanship. I’m passionate about giving back to our community and creating a positive, encouraging environment where every athlete feels supported and empowered.
NICOLE BAXTER
SECRETARY
I’m passionate about creating a positive, encouraging, and fun environment for our young athletes! As a proud parent of three kids—Hudson and Oakleigh (11-year-old twins) and Brooks (9)—all actively involved in Bennington Youth Sports, I see firsthand how impactful these programs are for our kids and families.
A former high school cheerleader, I’ve been a Bennington Youth Cheer coach for nearly four years, with a strong focus on building teamwork, confidence, and sportsmanship both on and off the field. I also serve on the Bennington Youth Football Board as the Director of Dibs, allowing me to stay closely connected to our youth sports community.
I love being involved in my kids’ activities and supporting Bennington families—if you can’t find us on the sidelines or on the field, you’ll likely find us cheering on friends at their events or showing up as supporters at other Bennington community events.
