For this month’s Athlete of the Month article, we wanted to switch it up and choose a cheerleader, therefore we have thoughtfully selected Joyce Reyna! Joyce is outgoing, kind, hardworking, and loved by many at PHS! This year, Joyce competes in cheer and powerlifting, which she loves! She states, “I tried to cheer out for the first time when I was nine because it seemed fun, and I have stuck with it ever since. Technically, I was on the varsity cheer team in 6th grade at Brooks Academy, and that was where I learned to love cheer because I got to experience so many different things.” As you can tell, Joyce is very dedicated to her sports and has put in hard work since a young age. 

Joyce is also a very amazing student, which is very impressive considering she also participates in sports! We asked Joyce how she manages all of these tasks and she said “I try to finish most of my work in class and do homework when I have free time, but if I have work left I stay up late to finish it or do it on the bus if necessary for away games.”. She sure is a dedicated and hard worker!

Overall we are so happy that we were able to focus on Joyce for this month’s athlete spotlights and we wish her a great year! Come and support our Pleasanton Eagles this year, Pride Pride!
