Cheerleader In The Spotlight !

Cheerleading will never be consider an individual sport. Teams must work together in order to become the best of the best. Even though cheerleading is a group effort there is always one cheerleader out of the bunch that gives that extra effort. Molly Silven of Bellingham, MA is one of these unique cheerleaders. Hard working not only as part of a team but pushing herself individually she was able to inspire others to work just as hard. Attending Mt. St. Charles Academy and only cheering 1 year out of her 4 she was able to grow into loving the sport. Molly was a gymnast since the age of 9 which helped her become the great cheerleader she is today. Now attending Elmira College and cheering on the competitive team she was able to get a taste of the real deal. On top of this high demanding sport commitment Molly is fulfilling a major in bio/Pre-Med and she is also a trustee scholar. Molly was recruited into the EC cheerleading program and she became an asset to the team. Always eager and willing to try new things she not only grew as a cheerleader but as a person in general. With a standing tuck, to a round off back handspring full Molly always took the mat with a sense of determination to hit everything perfectly. Molly Silven states "I never expected to fall in love with the sport as much as I did, EC cheer has not only become something that I love to do, but it gave a sense of family with the girls. No one sees the blood, sweat, and tears we all endure and truly no one cares, all they care about is the routine we deliver in the end, it's a brutal world." Molly Silven is eager to take on next year challenges and is staying in tip top shape till then.
