/in /by

CANFIELD, OH-  As the South Range Raiders wrap up their football season, one senior cheerleader has left an indelible mark not only on the field but also in the world of dance. Hannah Gettame, a senior captain for the South Range cheerleading team, recently reflected on her journey and future aspirations during an interview on the YSN podcast at GIAngelo’s on 224.

Hannah spoke candidly about the fleeting nature of her senior year, particularly highlighting the bittersweet experience of her last home game as a cheerleader. “It was just kind of crazy. I was like, wow, I don’t really have another reason to be on this field again,” she shared.

Apart from cheerleading, Hannah has also carved out a significant niche in the world of dance. Starting at the young age of four, she has evolved into a formidable presence in ballet, performing as the Sugar Plum Fairy in her latest production. This achievement underscores her incredible dedication and talent in the discipline she loves.

Her dance journey began with a mix of gymnastics and dance, eventually gravitating towards ballet at BWR studio. Notably, her ability as a tumbler has set her apart, blending cheerleading and dance in a unique and captivating manner. “I was always just working to make new tumbling skills all the time,” she said, emphasizing the crossover skills that enhanced both her dance and cheerleading performances.

Despite the demanding schedules and the rigorous training, Hannah manages to find inspiration from those closest to her. “I would definitely say my mom,” she acknowledged as her biggest influencer. This support system has fueled Hannah’s desire to help others, driving her ambitious plan to pursue nursing and ultimately become a nurse anesthetist.

Juggling the roles of a senior cheerleader and a dedicated dancer, Hannah Gettame has exemplified discipline, passion, and the spirit of community. As she prepares for her future endeavors, including continuing her education with already two years of college credits under her belt, she leaves behind a legacy of excellence at South Range.
