With hard work and dedication, in 2021, she made the Bengals cheer team, never thinking she would have the opportunity to cheer at the Super Bowl her rookie year. In February, she traveled with her teammates to share the stage and cheer at the Superbowl LVI in Los Angeles, California.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watterson attended San Juan Del Rio Catholic School and Bartram Trail High School, graduating in 2013. At Bartram Trail, she was a member of the junior varsity cheer team and the varsity Bartram Trail Dance Team. At three years old, Watterson started dancing competitively from elementary school through college. In 2017, she graduated from Florida State University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in exercise science and from Xavier University in 2021 with an Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) degree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watterson&#8217;s passion is equally shared in serving her community. She was deeply involved in volunteer and community service activities throughout high school and college. In 2019, she danced for the Jacksonville Sharks Attack Dance Team. She currently works at Cincinnati Children&#8217;s Hospital as a registered nurse and is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to dedicate this dream to the support and encouragement I received from family and friends and everyone that supported and coached me throughout my life,\u201d Watterson said. \u201cFrom attending dance recitals to sitting on the sideline, they all have been there for me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo courtesy Deborah Bazzell<br>Sydney Watterson cheering on the Cincinnati Bengals.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By NewsLine Staffmail@floridanewsline.com Like millions of children and young adults, it has been Sydney Watterson&#8217;s lifelong dream to be an NFL cheerleader.
