Samantha Haatvedt '25 Recruiting Profile

My cheer and stunt experience starts at the age of 4 so I have currently been cheering for about 12 years in total. I started on an all star cheer team called Team Xtreme, and cheered on that team until I was around 12 years old. I took private classes and tumbling classes to strengthen my tumbling skills at an All star team named Northern Elite as well. On Team Xtreme growing up I was always a flyer, and subbed in as a base when I cross competed on the mini team. Freshman year of my high school career I had taken the reigns of a new school I’d never been to with no cheer team and pulled my all star cheer coach in to start up a new cheer team with me at Park High School In Cottage Grove, Minnesota and together we started a thriving cheer team within the past three years that I have been a Captain for up until graduation. On my high school team I was a main base, and subbed as a flyer when needed. We cheered for Football, Basketball, Hockey, Wrestling, Soccer year round. I am 5’5 Blonde weighing at 125 Pounds currently, Highest tumbling skills being a Roundoff Backhand Tuck, due to taking a step back from cheerleading for about a year. Along with a 3.0 accumulative GPA, counting in my High school diploma as well as my associates degree I achieved my sophomore year of high school. 

I have received quite a few offers from various stunt and cheer teams. I am looking to go into neuroscience/biology, looking to become a Pediatric Neurosurgeon for children with cancer. I am kind of just weighing out my options and making Official visits along with weighing out the unofficial offers that I have been receiving via email. Trying to find the best fit for education as well as of course cheerleading/stunt opportunities.
