Grace Farina '26 Recruiting Profile

My work ethic and 14 years of gymnastics training are my strongest assets as an athlete and student.  I always try to give 100% to school and sports. Although I have only been in cheer for 2 years (Pop Warner and High School teams), I have been in competitive gymnastics since about age 5.  I was a JO gymnast to level 5.  Due to severe eczema and hospitalizations at age 8-9, I had to leave the sport for about 2 years to get well.  I was so fortunate to heal, thanks to a wonderful team of dermatologists, allergists and new medications. I am so grateful.  I have worked my way back to XCEL Diamond.  Thanks to a good friend, who urged me to try cheer, I found a new passion.  Due to my gymnastics training, I excel at tumbling and stunting.  I love the team aspect and high spirit of cheer.  I am a strong base thanks to so many years of conditioning and upper body strength work.  I am passionate about cheer, school and community service.  I hope to join a cheer or STUNT team with great spirit, teamwork and strong work ethic.  I would love to find a team that also reaches out to the community to make a difference.  I am not 100% sure of a major yet, but I see myself in pediatric dermatology or veterinary medicine.
