CHEER TEAM FINISHES SECOND AT UCA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

1/22/2009
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Sacramento State cheerleading squad finished second in the small coed Div. I competition at the 2009 UCA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championships at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, Fla.

The Hornets ended the competition one point behind national champion Hofstra. Sacramento State finished ahead of eight other schools in the division, including Oklahoma, Villanova and Navy.

Squads were judged on crowd leading ability, practicality of skills and overall cheer impression.

Sacramento State has now placed in the top five nationally seven times in the past eight years at the UCA Championships.

The UCA College Cheerleading Team Championships will be nationally televised on Feb. 22 on ESPN 2 beginning at 1 p.m. EST. The broadcast will be repeated throughout the spring on the ESPN family of networks.

Interesting how a school one former UOP quarterback attended (namely, moi) finishes second in the cheer championships to a school one of his teammates (namely, Gio Carmazzi) attended after the ignoramus Don DeRosa pulled the plug on UOP football....

Anyways, while congrats are in order, this is nothing new. I believe that Sac cheer has won at least one national title in the last fifteen years or so, perhaps more.

I'm not sure they've won the national title or not, but the article did state:

Uh, does this belong in the football section, or other sports? :roll: They do cheer for the football and basketball team but are a separate sport.
