Olivia Smith
Olivia is bringing her southern charm to the west coast and a well rounded background in cheerleading experience! She grew up in Auburn, Alabama where she did gymnastics for 4 years, all-star cheerleading for 2 years, and high school cheer for her sophomore, junior and senior year. She then received a cheer scholarship at Jacksonville State University, where she cheered for 2 years and loved it.. before realizing her true dream was to cheer for a big school with over 80,000 fans at the football games. Within a month she had her transfer into Clemson University and received 1 of the 5 open spots on the All-Girl team that 120 girls were fighting for. She finished out her 2 years at Clemson and received the “Golden Tiger” award (MVP award) for the 2014-2015 season. Olivia is excited about being apart of the Mira Costa cheer program and sharing as much knowledge and love she can with each of the girls! |
