of the Month



Hometown: St. Charles, Mo.
When/where did you first start cheering?College- University of Minnesota
What made you want to cheer at the University of Minnesota?I wanted to continue doing something physically active, aside from the swimming I did throughout high school. It was something new and something I had never tried before. Plus I really wanted to learn to tumble!
What is your favorite part about cheering for the Gophers?The fans and being able to really show my support for those teams playing and getting the fans to show the same support!!
What is your favorite cheerleading memory?Being able to grow with my partner as a team and watching our efforts pay off with new stunts; Team bonding at the beginning of the year!!! It was so much fun and we really got to know our teammates!!
What cheer accomplishment are you most proud of?My roundoff tuck and doing hands liberty with Kelsey!
What non-cheer accomplishment are you most proud of?Becoming the Vice President of Programming for the Inter-Fraternity Council.
What do you like to do when you aren’t cheering on the Gophers?Read and work out, but I am really involved with the Greek community on campus and a lot of my extra free time is spent going to meetings and discussing issues within the community
Do you have any tips for high school cheerleaders who want to continue on in college?Work hard everyday and cheer because you want too!! Always remember to have fun!
