Alyssa Horvath, a sixth grader on Level 2 Rage, has been involved in competitive cheer for three years and at Scorpions Elite for one. She absolutely loves the fact that everyone at the gym is so friendly and welcoming, because she started at ELITEknowing no one and now enjoys knowing she is a part of the ELITE family. Her goals for Cheer are always the same: to win the next competition. Her life goals include either being a entomologist (bugs), a pediatrician (children) or a world dictator (both). She’s still undecided.
