Mackenzie Leigh, another well-known cheerleader, talked about Ortiz’s influence on her. She revealed that he had briefly competed in Connecticut and had just picked up cheerleading again after a break.
Says Leigh:
“Eric Ortiz is someone I’ve known for a very long time. Being a renowned Louisville alumnus and even briefly cheering at my Connecticut gym. Before this past year, when he decided to dust off his cheerleading shoes and join Chrome for Worlds, our paths had never met, even though he was always where I ended up going before I even considered being there.
