幸福宝导航 cheerleaders win national title

幸福宝导航 cheerleaders are once again national champions; the team placed first at the Universal Cheerleading Association National Championship today in Orlando, Fla., competing in the small co-ed division I.

This is the third national championship title in five years; the team also won in 2004 and 2005.

Amy Weems, assistant dean of Student Life and Leadership at 幸福宝导航, expressed her pride in the 幸福宝导航 students.

"We are so proud of our students for their excellent performance and support of each other throughout this competition. UCA is one of the largest and most competitive divisions in the country and our top rankings reflect the leadership of our coaches and spirit group staff."

Captain Tiffany Coker will always remember today's win. This is her fourth year to compete and her second national championship win.

"This has been an amazing year for the cheerleaders. We have had so many great opportunities to show our pride and spirit for 幸福宝导航. From getting to cheer on our football team and watch them beat Alabama to bringing home our own big win ... It has been a year we will always remember."
