With the second ever varsity season for Kentucky STUNT just around the corner, it’s hard to imagine the season will mean more to anyone than Caitlin Barenbaum.
One of six seniors on a team of 40 athletes, Barenbaum’s entire collegiate experience has been intertwined with the STUNT team on campus, beginning her journey with the team years before it became a varsity sport for the university.
Having been on the cheerleading and softball teams for Grayslake North High School in Grayslake, Illinois, Barenbaum was no stranger to hard work heading into college.
Her journey with STUNT in particular was unexpected for even Barenbaum herself, with her story with the program beginning the same way many stories do for college students: being bored freshman year and simply wanting to be involved in something on campus.
