Here is a photo gallery of Dena in action, and here is SI.com's Cheerleader of the Week archive.

I love my school, but I almost went to: University of Michigan. That is until I realized I would never survive in the cold.

My best physical feature is: I have been told I have nice legs.

If I had to watch one movie on loop for ever, it would be: Sweet Home Alabama. I know every line.

If you looked at the "most played" songs on my iPod, you'd see a lot of: Country music.

My worst habit is: eating sweets! I have a major sweet tooth.

My gameday superstitions are: None. I always expect a win.

I'd love to trade places for a day with: A boy, just to see what actually goes on in their heads.

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't possess is: The ability to sing. Although, it doesn't stop me now.

These three things top my bucket list: Backpacking through Europe, surfing in Costa Rica, bungee jumping

I'd want my last meal to be: Spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread and ice cream.

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is: My team tumbles onto the court during every basketball game timeout. One game, I over-rotated in a back tuck, fell on my butt and slid from the top of one key to the other. It was a televised game.

Three things I'd take to a desert island are: Suntan lotion, matches and my best friend.

My favorite sport and professional sports teams are: My favorite sport is cheerleading, of course. As for professional teams, I like the New York Giants, because they beat the Patriots -- leaving the Miami Dolphins with the only undefeated season.

My one guilty pleasure is: Attending concerts. Any kind of music, big and little names. I love concerts.

My celebrity crush is: David Beckham.

Five people I'd like to have dinner with (living or dead) are: Vince Vaughn, Audrey Hepburn, J.D. Salinger, Meg Ryan and Ken Dorsey.

My friends would be surprised to know that I: Have never seen Dumb and Dumber.

The next risk I want to take is: Living on my own financially.

The reality show I'd do best on is: Ace of Cakes. I LOVE decorating deserts.

The worst date I've ever been on was: On a blind date, this guy took me to dinner at a nice restaurant, and as we were leaving I noticed he didn't leave any tip money. When asked about it, he replied that he didn't believe in tipping. I ended up having to sneak extra money on the table before we left.
