Although she made her film debut in "Cuban Blood" at the age of nine
and was aged 12 at the film's release, Anisa Guajardo did not embark on
a traditional child acting career. Rather, she has achieved her biggest
exploits on the athletic fields.
A four-year letter winner in association football (soccer) at Buchanan
High School in Clovis, California, Guajardo scored 54 goals and
provided 20 assists in helping her team to win four consecutive
California Interscholastic Federation Central Section titles from
2005-2009.
Guajardo then moved on to Pepperdine University in Malibu, California,
where she was also a four-year letter winner and finished her career
with 27 goals and 14 assists from 2009 to 2012. Nine of her 27 career
goals for the Waves were match winners; those 27 goals are good enough
for fourth all-time in Waves women's soccer history.
Following her junior year, Guajardo was called up to the Mexican senior
women's national team for the 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying
tournament. She started one of the team's four matches, scoring a hat
trick against the Dominican Republic, and appeared as a substitute in
two others.
Guajardo will play in the National Women's Soccer League in 2013 for
the Boston Breakers.
