Aquinas College

Freshman Rilee Woodard begins her collegiate career with the Aquinas Cheer & STUNT program after graduating from Lowell Senior High School. A Health Science major, Woodard brings 12 years of competitive cheer experience, competing with Champion Force and Hit Force before joining the Saints.

Woodard chose Aquinas because of its welcoming campus community and the immediate feeling that she belonged during her visit. She is excited to become involved across campus, meet new people and continue growing as both a student and athlete.

Rilee believes making new friends, trying new activities and never being afraid to ask for help will make her Aquinas experience a successful one. Away from cheer, she enjoys shopping, spending time with family and appreciates the unique perspective that comes from growing up with only half-siblings.
