When the Jackets play host at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday, eyes are trained on Paul Johnson’s triple option offense and opportunistic defense. Yet in the same confines is another spectacle on the sidelines: that of the cheerleaders, notable athletes in their own right.
Ali Mac Jinks joined the cheerleading team during her third year at Tech. Now in her penultimate fall on campus, she balances cheer with a rigorous extracurricular, social and academic schedule.
She also works as a Georgia Tech tour guide, is on the LEAD recruitment team, does speaker procurement for TEDx Georgia Tech, is a member of Alpha Delta Pi, and plans to work at Capital One following her graduation in the fall of 2017.
