GPS graduate Grzesiak reaches collegiate goal

Girls Preparatory School 2012 graduate Megan Grzesiak has always dreamed of joining the Virginia Tech Cheerleading Squad. This fall, she will finally realize that dream.

Growing up, Grzesiak attended many of the VT home football games watching her brother cheer for the prestigious school’s team. Now, her brother, Zachary Wheeler, who works as a civil engineer, will have the opportunity to watch his sister cheer for his alma mater. She is moving to the VT campus Aug. 24 to pick up her cheerleading uniform.

“It has been my dream to cheer for Virginia Tech my whole life,” said Grzesiak.

She previously cheered for the GPS/McCallie Blue Crew coed squad, which she said prepared her for collegiate cheering. As a Virginia Tech fan since age 7, she is passionate about football in particular.

“Virginia Tech has a tradition of playing ‘Enter Sandman’ [by Metallica] while the whole stadium crowd jumps,” said Grzesiak. “I can’t wait to be on the field to experience that.”
