Griggs is a senior on the<br />
Glenbrook North cheerleading<br />
team and was a<br />
major contributor at the<br />
Central Suburban League<br />
Invite.<br />
When and why did you<br />
start cheerleading?<br />
I started cheerleading<br />
when I was in first grade<br />
and then I really enjoyed<br />
the friends and skills, so I<br />
picked it back up when I<br />
got to high school.<br />
What do you like most<br />
about the sport?<br />
I like competing in general<br />
but I like the community<br />
of friends you get to<br />
create, you spend so much<br />
time working together.<br />
Do you have any<br />
superstitions before a<br />
routine?<br />
Before competitions, me<br />
and my stunt group do a<br />
handshake, little cheer and<br />
hug each other before we<br />
go on.<br />
What is your favorite<br />
sports moment?<br />
I liked watching our<br />
team win conference two<br />
years ago<br />
What is one thing<br />
people don’t know<br />
about you?<br />
I live with my grandparents.<br />
What would you do if<br />
you won the lottery?<br />
I would travel the world.<br />
I really want to see the<br />
Northern Lights.<br />
If you could be any<br />
superhero, what super<br />
power would you<br />
want?<br />
I would want to read<br />
other peoples’ minds.<br />
If you could play any<br />
other sport, what<br />
sport would it be?<br />
I would play volleyball. I<br />
played when I was in middle<br />
school, but in high school I<br />
realized I was too short.<br />
What is one thing on<br />
your bucket list?<br />
I want to go skydiving.<br />
If you could be any<br />
animal, which animal<br />
would you be?<br />
I would be a lion because<br />
my hair is quite crazy<br />
and I look like it a lot.<br />
