Her groundbreaking role continues to pave the way for women in basketball entertainment while inspiring fans around the world.
In 2018, she made Globetrotter history when she became the first of the team’s female stars to own her own Guinness World Record title. In celebration of Guinness’ annual World Record Day, ‘Torch’ set the record for the most basketball under the leg tumbles in one minute (female), with 32.
The 5 foot 3-inch guard attended Iowa Western Community College (IWCC), where she led the Reivers to a 26-5 record her sophomore year while averaging 25.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 4.3 steals per game. She finished her sophomore year with four single-game records and was later inducted into IWCC’s Hall of Fame in 2019. In 2006, Cherelle was named Big Ten’s first “Sixth Player of the Year.”
Torch’s on-court success has led to her off-court development as an entrepreneur and inspiration, with the recent launch of her “Hood to History” clothing line. This successful apparel line aims to inspire young people on how to dominate without a ball in their hands. Torch enjoys giving back to her community as well through different organizations like Hope through Soap or feeding the homeless in hopes to impact the world in a positive way.
