Rebecca Boyter provided magic as a Spiritliner when the dance/cheer team concept was first inaugurated at then-College of St. Francis back in 1988. A three-time captain, she played a key role on two top-10 finishing squads at the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) nationals before graduating in 1991.

Seven years later, Boyter returned to the program and so did the magic. In each of her 12 seasons as the Spiritline coordinator, Boyter has taken her teams to the NCA Collegiate National Championships in either the cheer or dance division.

During her initial campaign in 1997-98 campaign, Boyter, along with co-coordinator Julie Becker, directed the Spiritline to its second-best finish in school history at the time, placing seventh in the nation in the dance category at the Division II level. One year later, USF was back, but came up short in advancing to the final round and finished in 15th place.

In 2000, the Spiritline returned to the forefront, earning a fourth-place finish in the Division II All-Girl Cheer category. The squad followed that up by taking sixth place in 2001, 11th place in 2002, ninth place in 2003, 13th place in 2004 and sixth place in 2006.

The Spiritline also earned bids in 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 but did not get beyond the first round.

Boyter took over the Spiritline from her older sister, Cindi Tyler, who initiated the program and served as its director for each of the first nine years before retiring in 1997.

Prior to joining the Spiritline, Boyter was a member of three national championship squads in the dance and pom divisions at St. Francis Academy, including 1985 when she was named an NCA All-American.

Boyter, who also serves as a licensed clinical social worker at Thornwood High School, has two children, Drew and Riley. They reside in Frankfort.
