Primetime 585 Shining Star: Elisa Bodin
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Our Wednesday Primetime 585 Shining Star this week puts the spotlight on Elisa Bodin, a 15-year-old Sophomore at Hornell High School with an impressive resume.
Elisa, an elite competitive cheerleader, is also quite the leader when it comes to Hornell's Indoor Track Team, taking on the role of co-captain for the Sectional-winning 2024-2025 team. She won individually in the 1500m race, and helped her 4×800 relay team come out on top as well.
She's been running with the Hornell Cross Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track and Field teams since 7th grade, winning Sectional patches for cross country, and qualifying to compete at the Cross Country New York State Championships the last two seasons.
This Friday, she's headed to the Indoor Track State Qualifiers for a 3rd time – and has gone to the Outdoor Track State Qualifiers for the last two seasons.

Outside of running, Elisa has a passion for cheer.
She's been doing competitive All-Star Cheerleading with Diamond Athletics for the past seven years and is currently a flyer for the organization's Senior Co-ed Level 3 Team.

She's placed fourth in the nation twice in the past two seasons with her cheerleading team at the D2 Summit in Orlando, Florida.

As an avid cheerleader and track and field star – last weekend Elisa chose to be with both teams.
She competed Saturday morning with her cheer team for their first round in Ocean City, Maryland, then flew back to Rochester that afternoon to compete in the Indoor Track Sectionals. She spent overnight Sunday in a car, driving back to Ocean City to compete with her team for round two early Sunday morning. A bonus: Both teams came out on top!
Outside of athletics, Elisa consistently reaches Honor Roll status in her academics and is a member of the Hornell Academic All-Star team.
Her family told Primetime 585 that Elisa intends to go to West Point Academy and study law.
From all of us here at News 8 and Primetime 585, congratulations, Elisa, and thank you for sharing your light with the community! Good luck in all your future endeavors.
