My name is Kara Moran. I have been cheerleading for 5 years, four of them at the varsity level. This year I became captain of my varsity team. I am very passionate about my academics, which pushes me to be a better athlete. Both my academics and athletics have instilled values of hard work, determination, leadership, confidence, and the desire to learn and grow. It is also very important to me to be in a positive and uplifting environment of both teammates and coaches. I hope to continue my cheerleading career throughout the entirety of college and continue to grow as an athlete and teammate.
