Cheerleaders are busy people, between keeping up with their classes and all the practices, performances, and spirit events that are part of supporting a school's teams. However, some spirited students till want to do more. Mayah Hamah, a varsity cheerleader from Bloomfield High School in New Jersey, earned her letters this year not just in cheerleading but also in varsity track & field. With two seasons of cheerleading and one of track, she has earned the rare distinction of gaining three varsity letters in a single season.

The Bloomfield High School Bengals are already known for their championship athletic ability, fielding championship wrestling and volleyball teams during the last decade. Successful cheerleading already requires incredible dedication, as Hamah discloses in a recent interview for her local paper.
