Celina Pimentel '23 Recruiting Profile

As a straight A student, I dedicate my time for not only sports but my academics as well, in addition to a part-time job as a youth gymnastics coach. 

At age 5, I began cheerleading and then went to gymnastics from age 8 to 13 (Levels 3 - 7). From there, I transitioned to competitive cheerleading from age 12 - present (winning States, Regionals, Nationals and Global Championships in 2019), while also incorporating both club and varsity volleyball since my Freshmen year in High School. I proceeded into another year of competitive cheerleading in 2021 winning States, placing second in Regionals, and winning Nationals for a second time. 

Sports is an integral part of my life and my future. My desire is to become a sports medicine doctor. I am an incredibly hard worker and have been a student-athlete my entire life. Since my first day of Kindergarten, I have juggled playing sports and doing school work and now a job. 

My dedication to myself and my team help me be a leader and someone they can count on both on and off the mat/court. I take criticism as an opportunity to learn. I listen to my coaches and my teammates and work with them to continuously focus on being the best we can be.
