Our final Senior Spotlight is the incredible, beautiful, loved by ALL, day one dancer .botter07 Olivia is one special young woman and talented dancer. She is an original Bruinette from day one. In fact dancing with the team on Friday nights are her favorite memories. She had the guts to take a leap of faith and help start a program! Olivia is a beautiful dancer but has an even more beautiful heart. Her love for others and Jesus truly inspire us all. She has an infectious laugh and is always down for a great time, especially if it’s in the winter!! Olivia never meets a stranger and has the unique ability of making others feel at ease. Olivia is a true light. She lights up a room with warmth and a dance floor with her incredible talents. She is an excellent captain, leader and rock of the team. Olivia leads by example with love, kindness and can find that silver lining in all situations. She plans on attending college and majoring in Business Managment. One interesting fact about her is that she will be volunteering at Young Life camp for three weeks this summer. Serving others and the Lord are Olivia’s wheelhouse!!! Those campers are so lucky to have her! Olivia you are so special to this team, you have a heart of pure gold. There will be a void without you next year. Thank you for everything you have poured into this team and the people on it. You are an amazing person that will do amazing things. We cannot wait to hear all about the new friends you make that will, no doubt, love you as much as we do! Thank you for believing in this team! We love you so very much and will miss seeing you dance. There will never be another Bott.❣️

Our next Senior Spotlight is the ever organized, multitalented and beautiful ❤️. Lauren is going to major in biology on a pre-med track. One interesting thing about her is that she LOVES to be outdoors, especially hunting and fishing! Lauren as manager was the best addition last year. She always has coach’s back and is an extra hand and eye, in addition to being THE person who starts the music 🎶 for the Bruinettes. People, that is a nerve racking job. In Memphis at the Fed Ex forum she even saved our dance and took over the music from the pros!!! She helps with paperwork, was the woman who helped keep kids camp going, made us our own personal backdrop, films dances AND would randomly surprise the team with donuts 🍩 Her seal of approval to a dance was EVERYTHING. Lauren does not hide her approval or disapproval of effort or function!! We love Lauren’s honesty paired with loving warm heart. Her favorite memory was seeing the Bruinettes perform “Wanna Be” at practice for the first time 🕺🏻!!! Needless to say, she gave the approval!!! Lauren thank you so much for setting a bar so high for a manager. You really helped all of us more than you know!! That peer approval gave us so much confidence to work our hardest! We love you so much Lauren and you are leaving some mighty big shoes 👠🥾to fill. Wherever you go we know that you will be a successful physician. Please come back and visit!! Hit that play button anytime⏰!! We love you so much!!! ❤️🩵

Our next senior spotlight is the lovely .youngg0 Ava will be attending Mississippi State in the fall and majoring in biochemistry on a premed track. Her favorite Bruinette memories are performing “Maneater” at halftime on the football field and dancing it out each time before a performance. Ava has a heart for animals and actually has been a volunteer at the animal shelter for five years! 😊😊🐶 There is no way those animals love Ava more than we do!!! Ava has grown as a dancer so much this year. She is a hard worker and is so fun to be around!!! We love that she is super honest and tells it like it is!!! Another fun fact about Ava is that she is and will compete for the title of Miss Teen Volunteer America in March! We can’t cheer you on and are so very proud of you!! Ava is a triple threat! She can sing, dance, and is super intelligent (hence the premed) but she is also a great friend!! We are going to miss you so much! We can’t believe we only got to dance with you for a year!! Keep dancing and ring those cowbells loud at State!! They got a good one!! Please come back for visits and “dance it out” anytime!! We love you Ava👸🏻❤️💃🏻!

Our next senior spotlight is the ever so sugar sweet . Lorelai will be attending the University of Mississippi in the fall! Ole Miss is so lucky to have this “food for the soul” kind of girl to grace its campus! Lorelai’s favorite memories of being a Bruinette are the early sunrise football field practices and performing Maneater on Halloween 🎃. One interesting fact about Lorelai, that should come as no surprise, (she is stunning) is that she models for There are so many things we love about Lorelai. The girl does not meet a stranger. She is the momma of team and loves on everyone. She is quick to love you and very slow to anger. ALL the things you want in a friend and teammate. Always there with a tight hug, warm smile, and questions of if she can help. She is organized, super responsible, and a great role model. Her mom quoted “I hope you dance”. Let us just say, we are SO glad you did. You have been an absolute dream of a teammate and friend. No doubt you will keep dancing through life!!! Keep loving the way you do and making people feel special. We never wonder if you love us because you tell us everyday. We love you too Lorelai! Keep spreading that to your friends at Ole Miss!! WE WILL MISS YOU AND YOUR SWEET SPIRIT!

Our first senior spotlight is We love Kate so much. Kate will be attending the University of Mississippi in the fall and majoring in Business in Real Estate. Her favorite Bruinette memory is performing to Thunderstruck and the showcase in Nashville. (I’m sure had a lot to do with that ❤️❤️!!!) A fun fact is that Kate has never been to Disney!!!! What?? Well Mickey and Minnie are missing out on a good one. Kate has the best spirit and is such a girl’s girl!! If you know Kate, she has the spiritual gift of encouragement. Her heart is so warm and she is just Sunshine to be around. Kate is always the first one to practice, always willing to help and has one of the best high kicks on the team. We are so sad to see her leave but know that she will always come back and cheer the Bruinettes on. Our very own top model and our friend. Ole Miss is waiting on you, but we are not quite ready yet!! We love you BIG Kate!!! Can’t wait hear all about it!!! ❤️🩵
