Karina Franco '27 Recruiting Profile

As a high school student already taking college prerequisites and managing a demanding schedule as a multi-team cheerleader, I’ve learned how to balance academics, athletics, and leadership under pressure. My goal is to continue cheering at the collegiate level while pursuing a career in the medical field, and I’m committed to growing both as a student and athlete. I’ve been working hard since my freshman year, I now going into my junior year, I’ve kept a 3.0 or higher as well as being on three different varsity cheer teams through my school. Sideline, Competitive, and Stunt cheer.

What sets me apart is my discipline and drive. I take initiative in the classroom and on the mat, and I’m known for staying positive and pushing my teammates to be their best. I’m not just focused on making the team — I want to be someone who adds value to the program and helps it grow.
