Alexis Lucas started cheering competitively at the age of 4. She has cheered for Pop Warner, Fruit Cove Starz, and Zone Cheer All-Stars and spent the last four years cheering for Bartram Trail High School, which resulted in two state and regional championships and state and regional runner-up titles. Cheerleading is such a large part of Lucas’s life and shaped her into the strong, hard-working young woman she is today. She will begin studying pre-law at Florida State University in the fall.
Lucas’s cheerleading career started out naturally. Cheering, stunting, and flying came easily to her. It wasn’t until the spring before her freshman year at Bartram Trail High School when she had to overcome an injury. Every task that had come so easy to her became a struggle. She participated in physical therapy and trained to relearn the sport as a base instead of a flyer. This challenge motivated her and helped her learn that you always need to overcome even the smallest adversity to achieve your dreams.
Lucas is a tenacious student who manages a busy schedule of cheer practice, volunteering, National Honor Society meetings, math club, and internships. From the beginning she set a goal to one day become an All-American Cheerleader and wanted more than anything to cheer for her high school. I am proud that she worked hard and achieved her goals of not only being an All-American but also winning titles for her school.
