Cecilia Burke '22 Recruiting Profile

I began playing basketball in the 4th grade and loved it immediately. I had a background in competitive gymnastics and have also played volleyball, softball, and ran track and cross country. Being an athlete is an important part of who I am and what I want to do in the future. I have had a unique childhood being a military kid. I have moved several times and have attended different schools, but athletic teams are always where I found my first friends in a new place. Fitting into new teams has helped shape me into the player I am today. I understand the importance of focus, teamwork, and the sacrifice it takes to be a committed member of a team.

I am looking forward to continuing to experience a high level of competition on the court at the college level. As a freshman starting on Varsity and as a captain on my AAU team, I have had to step up and lead my teams. I know what it takes to make the commitment to compete at the highest level. Besides being able to compete against some of the best basketball teams with high school and AAU, I have also been a member of the cross county team that competed in the GHSA State Finals for the last two years.  I am excited to bring my leadership skills, my work-ethic, and my full commitment to a college where I know I can have a direct impact on the team and where I can grow as a player and as a person.
