Reasons for choosing Stetson: “Campus, biology program, scholarship received, and a spot on the team.”
What was the progression that led you to competing in cheer at the collegiate level? “My new coaches this year really saved me from my sport. I was starting to hate cheer; however, these two coaches really showed me the love and passion I have for the sport. I started thinking about cheering in college in the beginning of senior year, and I started by signing up to a recruiting profile and reaching out to coaches of colleges and teams I was interested in.”
Coach Breanna Terman says: “This (college signing day) is an exciting day for Sydney and our cheerleading program here at Quakertown. Today is a day that Sydney and I talked at length about throughout our year together. I am so proud that she has accomplished this goal. She has absolutely earned the privilege to continue her cheerleading career at Stetson University, becoming a D1 cheerleader. Her years of hard work and dedication at Q-town will now help lead her into this new role at the collegiate level.”
Coach Payton Cute says: “Our season with Sydney as one of our senior captains has been a wonderful experience for all the coaches and all of her teammates. Sydney has played a key role in the growth and success of our program. In addition to giving a lot of time and commitment to our cheerleading program, she continues to seek additional leadership and community service roles to enhance her skills and offer the potential that she has. It takes leaders like Sydney to build a program and set the precedent of cheerleaders for years to come, and we are going to miss her.”
