CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?

I’ve learned that not everything comes easily. Growing up I had a sister who was an all-star cheerleader so my family always knew I would one day be in the sport as well. I started at 2 1/2 at a program named All-Star Legacy in Ashburn, Virginia, which happens to be the same program I’m at now. I had always seemed to enjoy cheerleading. I never seem to be a natural for the sport or anything, I just happen to fall in love with it. At the age of 8, I got the news I wouldn’t be on the same level 4 team as my friends so I decided to try something a little different. 

I had always seemed to enjoy cheerleading. I never seem to be a natural for the sport or anything, I just happen to fall in love with it.

I decided I would try gymnastics at Capital Gymnastics NTC in Burke, Virginia. Now since I was ahead in floor, gymnastics wasn’t the best options. The coach told me to try powertumbling. Being this little 8 year old, my parents thought nothing of it and I continued in both powertumbling and cheerleading. My parents would have never thought I would be where I am today. At the age of 11, not only was I on my 3 year of a level 5 cheer team but I also became an elite tumbler.

In powertumbling I was able to achieve the title of being on the “National Team” for the last 3 seasons and in 2015 I got to compete in Odense, Denmark for World Age Groups. Tumbling means the world to me! I’m been able to push myself pass my limits and try skills I would have never thought were possible in cheer. It’s made me realize to be grateful for everything life gives you. Cheer and tumbling have been amazing experiences and I wouldn’t change it for anything. These last 13 season with legacy and the last 8 with capital will be memories I will never forget. I’m thankful for my family, friends, coaches and programs that have supported me through thick in thin because without them I would never be where I am today.

Thats when I found the gym that I am in now. I have the best coaches that believe in me and inspire me to be the best I can be everyday.

My name is Julieanna Luzunaris and I am twelve years. I have been cheering for three years and I currently cheer with Infinity All Stars in Jacksonville Beach, FL. I am on Senior Supremes which is a Senior 2 Team and Royal Divas which is a Junior 3 Team. Prior to cheer I studied Karate for five years and earned a black belt. I am currently working on my punch front and my standing and running tuck. I had a setback last year when I broke my leg one week prior to our 1st competition. I have overcome six weeks in a wheel chair, three weeks in a walking cast, and three weeks in a walking boot. 

I have overcome six weeks in a wheel chair, three weeks in a walking cast, and three weeks in a walking boot. 

I also had to do physical therapy for three months. All of these setbacks have not stopped me from cheering and I continue to work hard to achieve my goals. When I am not at cheer I take violin lessons and I volunteer in my churches nursery. I help take care of the babies while their parents are at the church service. I also like to hang out with friends and like to listen to music. Fitness is an important part of cheer and life in general. I have to maintain a fit and healthy body in order to cheer and also to avoid injuries.

Fitness is very important to me because it helps me stay in shape and I will grow up to live a long healthy life. Every morning I wake up with my father and my twin brother and we go for a 1.5 mile run before I get ready for school. I can’t thank my father enough for instilling this in me at such a young age, it is something that I will continue for the rest of life.
