Ainsley Duck returns to the Sharks cheer team for her second year from Keller, Texas. The 4-foot-11 flyer is pursuing a degree in Marine Biology at Hawai'i Pacific.

Duck came to HPU after attending Keller High School in Keller, where she competed in cheerleading as a flyer under coaches David and Whitney Fincher. She earned the Most Valuable Cheerleader Award and the Character, Commitment and Attitude Award, and she was a national champion, a Summit champion and a Worlds silver medalist.

Duck chose HPU for Marine Biology and for cheer. In her free time, she enjoys diving, shelling, hiking, hanging out with friends and going to church. Looking ahead, she hopes to grow her family and have a steady career. She was born in Grapevine, Texas, and has an older sister and a younger sister.
