Alexa Benton '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello! My name is Alexa Benton and I am going into my First year of Junior college. I have been doing cheer since I was very young but started doing cheer that involved stunting until I was in 8th grade. During freshman year I was on the JV team and was a captain. after that season was over, I was on the stunt team. covid then hit and everything shut down. Once everything shut down I decided to join a competition team called CenCal Spirit Elite all-stars. I also joined tumbling and was on their prep team, level 1. Then they asked me to be on their junior 1 who was going to the D2 Summit and I said yes. we ended up making finals and getting 15th place. I had got my backhand spring finally and I had made the junior 2 and senior 1 for the next season, my junior year. I was also on varsity in my school sophomore and junior year. I went to many competitions throughout my junior year. I got many 1st places and got some 2nd places with both of my all-star teams. we once again went to the D2 Summit that same year. also in my junior year, when I was in stunt I was awarded the CCC Sportsmanship award. meaning I had gotten the most points in the section for stunt. this is an award that will be with me for the rest of my life and I am incredibly amazed.  My senior year I went back to Cen Cal to be on their senior 2 which also went to D2 summit and placed 4th! I also was captain of varsity cheer. I am currently at Pyramid Athletics on their senior 4 and senior 5. I am very excited about what's going to come this year and my goal is to be able to go to college and continue my cheer journey while working to get my degree in nursing. contact me through my number for more information! number: (209)819-9452
