Our next PIRATE SPOTLIGHT goes to rookie member Jenna! Hi my name is Jenna Harvey and i’m a freshman on the OCC dance team! I’ve loved dancing ever since I started which was at age 10! My favorite dance move would have to be turning because there are so many combinations you can put together. I am so excited to be a part of this amazing team!

Our next Pirate spotlight is Madison! Thank you for being such a positive member of our program!! My name is Madison Mekelburg and I am a sophomore on the OCC cheer team!

Pirate spotlight!!! My name is Brianna Whitlinger and this is my third season with the OCC cheer team. My teammates and my coaches are some of the best people I have ever met and they continue to help me grow as an athlete and person. I’m very lucky enough to call each and every one of them my family and so blessed to be doing what I love with them by my side.

Thinking about all of our athletes a little extra today! We’re sad to not be able to finish off the season in person and celebrate our 2nd and 3rd years who will be moving on to bigger and better things next year! We are so proud of all of you. Your resilience & work ethic will make all of us better and stronger then we were before! #foreverapirate

Happy Birthday Coach Alto!! #foreverapirate

As we approach the start to the 20-21 OCC Spirit Squad, I want to give a big shoutout to our amazing 19-20 OCC Spirit Squad and the year they had! 2019-2020 was a year of learning, growth and development and I couldn’t be more proud of the mark we left! As a coach, you always dream that one day you can be apart of a program and work for a school and program like Orange Coast College. The amount of pride the school takes in not only academics, but the arts and athletics is unparalleled. I couldn’t be more grateful and lucky to be part of these athletes’ lives! Thank you to the amazing year and here’s to many more! Go Coast!!! #foreverapirate
