VARSITY COACHES - LAURA BASKINS & JENNA WERGEDAL
HEAD COACH LAURA BAKINS is starting her EIGHTH year coaching at RHS!! Coach Baskins cheered and competed in Stunt at Sierra College and coached at Varsity and Stunt at Lincoln High School before making the switch to RHS. She brings a positive energy and lots of experience to our program! Coach Baskins also coaches our STUNT Team in the Spring.
"Cheerleading is one of my biggest passions in life. I had always loved to dance, but it wasn't until high school that I completely feel in love with cheer. I cheered for Varsity all four years at Los Altos High School in the Bay Area. I also competed with Gold Star AllStars on their hip-hop dance team earning nationally ranked titles. Then, I moved on to join the Sierra college cheer team for three wonderful years (two years with Sierra's show cheer team and two years with STUNT). I coached the Varsity and STUNT team at Lincoln high school for the 2014/15 season. I love being part of the Rocklin family. Go Rocklin!"
ASSISTANT COACH JENNA WERGEDAL has been our JV head coach for the past two years, and is now joining Varsity! She is an RHS cheer and stunt alumni and previous captain of both. She was a dance peer instructor, All-American, and Spirit Award recipient. She is a previous UCA staff member and line dancing queen. Jenna cheered and competed with Azusa Pacific University's hip hop dance team. She also cheered at California Baptist University where she became a D1 national champion in 2019. We are so excited to have her as a part of Varsity this year.
"RHS cheer shaped me as an athlete and person and continues to shape me through coaching. I love this program, and I am so grateful to be able to create similar amazing experiences for these girls. I hope to inspire them to reach for their dreams and have an impact that will last beyond their years at RHS."
