Three North Rockland senior gameday cheerleaders stand arm in arm and smile on the high school track.
Varsity gameday cheerleading main base Mia Puelles.

Mia Puelles

Meet Mia, a main base on the varsity gameday cheerleading team! If she could replay one moment from her athletic career, it would be last year's state competition because the team performed one of its best routines, hit every skill and truly came together after all the time and hard work they put into the season. One of her proudest moments this season has been becoming more comfortable stepping outside her comfort zone and trying new skills. She credits her teammates and coaches as her biggest inspirations, sharing that being surrounded by people who constantly push her to work harder and improve motivates her to give her best. One of her favorite memories with her teammates is all the inside jokes they've created over the years that nobody outside the team would understand. She also shares that going on random side quests with her teammates is one of the little things that always makes her day better. After graduation, she plans to attend college and major in criminal justice with hopes of pursuing a career in the field.

Chyloh Clarke

Meet Chyloh, a secondary base on the varsity gameday cheerleading team! If she could relive one moment from her athletic career, it would be preparing for last year's Winter Rockfest competition, which was ultimately canceled due to snow. Even though the competition never happened, she loved spending time with her teammates decorating, laughing and making memories together. One of her proudest moments this season was successfully basing her flyer's first one-leg inversion. She credits her entire team as her biggest inspiration, sharing that seeing everyone bring incredible energy and perform well at competitions makes her feel complete as a cheerleader. One of her favorite memories with her teammates is when their camp instructor put on several wigs and started dancing around! She also shares that FaceTiming her friends to debrief her day is one of the little things that always makes her day better. After graduation, she plans to attend college and major in nursing. One hobby she'd love to try and become an expert at is roller skating, even though she's a little nervous about her balance!

One of her favorite memories with her teammates is the bus rides home from games and competitions when everyone blasts music and enjoys the ride together. She also shares that grabbing a refresher from Dunkin' is one of the little things that always makes her day better. After graduation, she plans to attend college and pursue a career in nursing. One hobby she'd love to become an expert at is baking!
