Glendale Prep Cheerleader Goes All-American

Olivia Siqueiros, a member and co-captain of Glendale Prep’s varsity cheer team, was selected as an All-American Cheerleader. As part of this incredible achievement, Siqueiros traveled to Orlando, Florida, to perform in the Varsity Spirit Spectacular Parade at Walt Disney World during the Thanksgiving celebration. Representing her team and Glendale Prep on a national stage, she brought her energy, talent, and school spirit to one of the most well-known performance venues in the world.

Siqueiros marched down Main Street, U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom, performing in front of the Cinderella Castle alongside 500 athletes from across the country. The parade featured cheerleaders ages 11-17, with two separate performance days showcasing hundreds of All-American athletes.

Looking back, Olivia shared that one of the biggest highlights was connecting with other athletes from all over the nation. “In my parade group I got to talk to lots of girls from all across the country,” she said. “Everyone there was so nice and happy to be there, and I met lots of people who were also alone on this journey for the first time.”

Siqueiros is most proud of stepping outside her comfort zone and embracing a completely new experience. “Knowing I worked really hard for almost two seasons and stepping into the opportunity given from my hard work meant so much to me,” she said. “I had no idea what was in store, but I had the time of my life and made new friends and memories I will have forever.”

Head Cheer Coach Natalie Addicott shared high praise for her co-captain. “Olivia is one of the hardest-working people you’ll meet. She always shows up and gives her best. Her smile truly lights up a room. She’s a confident performer and genuinely embodies the true definition of a cheerleader, both on and off the mat. She’s a shoulder to lean on when you need it most and isn’t afraid to tell you how it is. Olivia brings honesty, strength, and heart to everything she does, making her someone you can always count on.”

Siqueiros’s All-American honor is an exciting reminder of what Great Hearts students are capable of when they fully commit to growing in every area of life. At Glendale Prep, our students don’t have to choose between strong academics and meaningful athletic experiences. They get both.
