Aquinas College

Newaygo, Mich. | Secondary Education

Justin Mielke brings versatility and competitive drive to the Aquinas Cheer program. A conference runner-up and honors student, Mielke has six years of cheer experience and a well-rounded athletic background that includes football, baseball, track and field, and men’s volleyball. His multi-sport foundation adds strength, agility, and leadership to his presence on the mat.

Mielke’s motivation is rooted in a competitive mindset, often echoing the quote, “They told me I couldn’t. That’s why I did.” That edge fuels his commitment to both his team and his academic path in Secondary Education. He credits the cheer team as a major reason for choosing Aquinas and looks forward to continuing to grow within the program.

Outside of athletics, Mielke has performed in four theatrical productions, showcasing confidence and creativity beyond competition.
