I was honored to find out that I would be cheering in the 71st Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game. I have been cheering for the past 8 years and love the different opportunities that cheerleading has given me. I am also excited that I get to share this experience with my friends who are on my high school team. |
Miley Auger, Alvirne High School
The moment I found out I was chosen as a cheerleader for the Maple Shrine Bowl, I was over the moon! Being recognized as one of the best cheerleaders from Vermont and New Hampshire is a dream come true. The rush of excitement was amazing, and I couldn't stop smiling. It felt like all my hard work, dedication, and passion for cheerleading had finally paid off. I'm beyond thrilled to showcase my spirit and skills alongside such talented individuals! This opportunity is not just an honor, but a milestone in my cheerleading journey that I'll cherish forever. Can't wait to bring the energy and cheer on the players at the game! |
Samantha Batson, Windham High School
I am extremely grateful for being chosen to be a cheerleader for the 71st Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game. I have been looking forward to participating in this game since I was a freshman on Windham's Varsity team. I grew up on the team watching my older teammates get to experience the impact of the game. I recently was a patient at Shriners Boston Children's Burn hospital and got to witness other kids go through even worse suffering than me, which not only made me realize how important it is to value my health, but use it to help others like them. I cannot express the gratitude I have for being chosen to participate in this game because I realize how the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game is not just a game to win, it's a game to truly make a difference for these children who have suffered and give them another look on life. |
Lauren Chaloux, Windham High School
For the past 3 years I have been a Windham Varsity Cheerleader. I am honored to have been chosen to be a part of the Shrine Bowl this year! When I heard I was chosen, I could not be more excited. My sister, Avery, was a cheerleader for last year's game and she found the experience very rewarding. I have been told it is such a great experience overall. I am excited to raise money for such a great cause and to help others in need by doing something I love so much. I am extremely excited to work with my teammates, coach, and other members of this organization to create a difference. I am counting down the days until I am able to attend this game and will be raising money as the days get closer, to help make a difference. |
Alivia Chretien, Londonderry High School
When I received my invitation to the next Shrine Bowl game, I was super excited. When I started high school cheer, I saw the seniors working hard to be able to attend this special event. When my coaches let me know they picked me, I was grateful I would be able to attend this game just like the seniors I once saw. I'm excited to learn new game day material and enhance my cheerleading skills! |

Alexis Koutrobis, Windham High School
When I found out I would be on the team, I was so excited! I felt honored to be a part of such a good cause. I am excited to raise money for these kids knowing it will be put towards kids in need. I am grateful for being able to participate and cannot wait to get started! |

Rehanna Alger, Rutland High School
I was a cheerleader for the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl last year and I am so excited to be back. This game is so important for so many people, and that is important to me. Being able to raise money and awareness for these children who are fighting everyday is so special. I have learned so much from this event and will always be thankful for the opportunity to change a child's life. I appreciate how hard these kids work to be where they are and I'm honored to root for them. This game is amazing and I'm grateful to be a part of it. After I graduate high school, I will be attending Vermont State College for my first year. After that, I plan on attending Vermont Technical College for 2 years to get my Vet Technology degree. I want to be a Veterinarian Technician. I love animals and cannot wait to work with them later in life. I am currently interning at Eastwood Animal Clinic, and once I am out of college, I will be working full-time there. I am super excited for the future and I'm looking forward to the next part of my life. |
Brielle Alt, Poultney High School
Thank you for the honor to cheer for the 2024 Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl football game. It is quite an honor to be amongst some of the greatest athletes in the state, all with the same focus: to help others. This game is very special to me as my older brother, Ryan, played in 2021, and my Uncle Jay was a player in 2000. I am very excited to cheer for the Vermont team, and look forward to a great game, Senior year, and the opportunity to show support for such an amazing organization! |
Melanie Brock, BFA Fairfax High School
When I first found out I made the team I was in shock. I told all my friends and family in full pride! It is still so hard to believe that I have been given this opportunity. Ever since I learned about the Shriners Bowl Cheer Team in middle school when they announced the 2019 team I knew it was a team I wanted to be a part of in my future. When I found out I made the team I was ecstatic! I'm so excited to be a part of this team and am so proud of how far I've come. After I graduate high school I will be going to college for my Masters in Elementary Education and Major in Psychology. I am still in the process of selecting the school I will attend. |
Kaitlyn DeBonis, Poultney High School
When reading the letter that said I was chosen to cheer at the 2024 Shrine Bowl, I felt overwhelmed with joy. This was my first year cheerleading as a senior at Poultney High School, and to say I loved it would be an understatement. Cheer has taught me some of the greatest skills, one of these skills includes working hard to achieve a goal and new opportunities. Through this opportunity of cheering I have built some of the most meaningful relationships and created long lasting memories. To know that I was chosen to represent my school at Shrine was thrilling because my hard work for this new passion was shown and now I will be able to represent the skills and values I learned from cheer. As a senior graduating, I plan on attending Siena for four years to study Criminal Justice and Forensic Science. After college, I plan on joining law enforcement with hopes to begin working on crime scene investigation. |
Zoe Fish, Missisquoi High School
When I found out that I would be cheering at the 71st Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game I was in a state of disbelief; I'd only ever heard of it once, maybe twice, in my entire cheerleading career. I was heartbroken when my senior season ended, then at awards night I got this exciting news! To have this opportunity my senior year truly is a blessing and I am so grateful to cheer one more time here in VT before going off to college. Thank you to my coaches and my parents for supporting and encouraging me, pushing my limits throughout these years. After graduation I will be attending Lasell University and will be studying forensic science. Continuing to cheer in college is still up in the air, but I don't think that I can give it up just yet. |
Emily Hawkins, Rutland High School
I was so excited to hear I had been chosen to cheer for the 71st Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. This event holds a special place in my hears as last year I got to partake in the heart warming and rewarding experience of raising money for the children of the Shriners hospital and actually getting to meet two of the children. This game is held for such a good cause and I'm so happy that I can give back to my community for a second year. Following my graduation from Rutland High School, I will be attending George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, studying to earn my Bachelor's degree in Business at the Costello College of Business. There I plan to continue my cheerleading career and try out for their Division 1 All-Girl Cheerleading Team in the fall. Wish me luck! |

Danielle Locklin, St. Johnsbury High School
I was very excited when I learned I was going to be cheering at the Shrine game. At first, I was not familiar with the game and what it meant, but when I learned the details, I was ecstatic. I get a chance to not only do a sport that I love with some of the best cheerleaders in Vermont, but it is also helping the children in the Shriners Children’s hospitals. This is a great opportunity, and I am so grateful and honored to be a part of it. |
Zachary Marek, S. Burlington High School
I felt super excited when I found out that I was selected for the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl again! I had so much fun last year and was hoping I would get selected again. I was overjoyed when I found out I would be able to participate. This last opportunity to cheer at the Shine Maple Sugar Bowl will be the perfect end to my high school cheerleading season. Currently, I am in the Essex Tech Cosmetology program. At the end of my Senior year, I will take my Cosmetology board exam to get my license. I plan to go to Vermont State University for my business degree and open my salon somewhere in Vermont. I hope to Join the MAYCA Cheer Team for a few years, and work behind the chair in a salon as well. |
Peyton Metruk, BFA Fairfax High School
When I found out that I had been picked to be on the VT Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Cheer team, I was thrilled! Many of the cheerleaders on this team are people that I have watched cheer for years and I have always been in awe of their skills, so I feel incredibly grateful and excited to be able to cheer alongside them at this game. This game is an amazing opportunity to grow as a cheerleader and an athlete, while also supporting the VT Shriners and all the amazing work that they do. This will be the perfect end to my high school cheerleading career and I couldn't be more excited! After high school I will be attending Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT. I plan to study English and I will be continuing my cheerleading career with the Wesleyan Cardinals! |
Charlotte Trombley, Enosburg High School
This past cheer season was rough for me due to a concussion which brought down my confidence level and felt as though I wasn't able to get back into it fully. When I heard the news of being accepted for this event I felt incredibly excited and honored that I would be cheering in the 71st Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game. I felt grateful that others saw what potential I had which boosted my confidence even more. The opportunity to be a part of this event filled me with joy and anticipation. I am extremely grateful for this exciting opportunity this summer. |
Sierra Wales, St. Johnsbury High School
It was a great privilege to learn that I had been nominated to cheer for the 2024 Shrine Bowl. After learning more about the program and all of the people contributing, I am even more appreciative to everyone involved and the chance I have to take part in this great cause. This is a great opportunity for me and I'm excited to cheer alongside many others whom I've admired and looked up to since the beginning of my High School cheerleading career. I'm thankful for this opportunity and everyone involved, and I can't wait to participate in the game! |
