Calleia Lively '23 Recruiting Profile

After several years as a competitive dancer, I decided in 8th grade to tryout for the cheerleading squad.  Since making the 8th grade football cheer squad, I have grown to love cheerleading and would love to continue sideline cheering during college.  I love to perform in front of large audiences and cheer allows me to share my spirit with the student body and community.  I am currently a junior in  high school (class of 2023), I have been a varsity football  and varsity competition cheerleader for 3 years and a varsity basketball cheerleader for one year.   I have worked hard to build upon my tumbling skills over the past 3 years; I can perform back handsprings (standing and hurdle), cartwheel tuck, and standing tuck.  This year I have been working on co-ed partner stunting through private lessons and collegiate camps and clinics.  Being a cheerleader is so much fun and has helped me with time management and leadership skills.
