Mia Leschenko has been an athlete competing at Great Lakes Cheerleading for four years. Last year, her team won a bid to compete in Orlando, USA, thanks to their hard work, outstanding commitment, and skill set. Mia and her team's dedication and resilience, with many of these athletes training and competing at an elite level for a number of years, have earned them this prestigious opportunity.

Competing at an international level will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for these athletes, who will all be self-funding their trips to the USA. This trip will offer Mia the chance to be coached by some of the best coaches in America, allowing her to further develop her skills.

It is a unique opportunity for a rural cheerleading studio to qualify, and it is an honor to represent GL Cheerleading and Australia in Orlando.
