CLARK, NJ- Arthur L. Johnson senior Amanda Pratt and junior Nina DiProfio were selected from a nationwide search to participate in the Varsity Intelligence Team (IT) Girls Internship program.
According to their website, Varsity is a national organization that provides cheerleaders with training, educational camps, apparel and opportunities towards competition.
Varsity requires junior and senior students who apply to maintain a minimum 3.5 GPA, have great leadership skills, creative abilities and have at least three years of cheerleading experience, along with a passion for cheerleading and a positive attitude.
In this position, these ALJ student-athletes will gain experiences and participate in marketing team discussion during the 2017-2018 school years.
Both girls expressed excitement and shock about being accepted into the program.
“I was actually kind of surprised because I didn’t [initially] think I would get it. There are so many girls that apply to it,” Pratt said.
“I was really shocked. I wasn’t expecting the email because there were a lot of girls, all over the country and I know they only picked 30 in our region (New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland). I was really surprised,” DiProfio said.
