Sara Washington

Sara Washington spent four years cheering on Gryphon athletics on the sidelines, and now she’s taking her talents out west to compete in Texas Christian University’s [TCU] cheer program.

“I always knew I wanted to go there, but I didn’t know if I wanted to cheer or not,” Washington said. “So I knew if I went to TCU, I could try out.”

Washington tried out and made the team in April.

“It’s really taught me a lot about discipline and just always pushing myself to be the best and never giving up in [difficult] situations,” Washington said. “It’s really worth it in the end, going to nationals, and putting all that work onto the floor at the very end of the season.”
