Throwing Athlete of the Month
Rhylan Leach
September 2026
Rhylan is a collegiate cheerleader at Oklahoma State University and an inspiring example of perseverance, determination, and the power of hard work. After sustaining a significant elbow injury, she underwent surgery to restore the damaged cartilage, followed by an extensive rehabilitation and recovery process.
Through remarkable dedication and persistence, Rhylan returned not only to gymnastics, but ultimately to competitive collegiate cheerleading at an elite level. Her athletic pursuits extend beyond cheerleading-she also competes in equestrian events while pursuing her interest in a future career in medicine.
Rhlyan’s journey is a great reminder that setbacks don’t have to define what comes next. Her determination, work ethic, and commitment to her goals make her an athlete worth celebrating. Go Pokes!
