Allie Powell

Alexsandra Powell has been named as the Female Athlete of the Month for March as a member of the Varsity Cheerleading Team. The senior captain is wrapping up her sixth year of cheerleading with the last five being at the varsity level. When asked what it took to earn this award, she simply stated: “Dedication and commitment.” In her nomination, Coach Wagner pointed out how well Allie approached each day as a competitor and teammate. Coach stated:

“Allie has continued to improve her leadership skills and help her teammates strive to be their best. Allie shows a lot of passion and intensity for her sport, so she has tried to adapt her leadership skills to meet the needs of her teammates on an individual basis throughout the season. Allie worked hard to be a flyer and base for her team in areas of need, based on experience in flying and a newfound strength in basing. After an LCAA league performance that was not our team's best and placed us 3rd, she helped keep moral going and pushed herself to continue her abilities for the last week of the season. This led to our team placing 2nd out of 10 teams at Sectionals, which we went in to the day as major underdogs. She was definitely a large contributor to the push our team had in the final weeks of the season.”

Her hard work, competitive spirit and natural leadership propelled Allie to be recognized as an LCAA Exceptional Senior. When asked who she wanted to thank, Allie was quick to thank Coach Wagner on her positive influence that led to not only her own success but the overall success of our Wayland-Cohocton team. When asked what makes her proud to be an athlete at WCCS, Allie remarked: “As a school athlete, I feel proud because I’m part of a team, achieving personal goals, representing my school, building discipline, and developing leadership skills through sportsmanship and competition.”
