Buffs Spirit Squads Ready To Compete At National Championships

The Universal Cheerleading & Universal Dance Associations will be hosting the 2020 Cheerleading & Dance Team National Championship starting this Friday, Jan. 17 until Sunday, Jan. 19 at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla.

The Buffs will have five different teams competing in four different categories this weekend, with the first event slated to start early Saturday morning (all times MT).

Kicking things off will be the POM dance team who will compete at 6:25 am at the HP Field House.

Next up will be the All Girl Cheer squad who will perform at 8:40 am in the South Arena. The All Girl team routinely places in the top-eight and they're determined to climb their way into the top-five this season as they prepare to face a highly competitive field.

Following their performance will be the Coed Cheer team who is looking to earn its first-ever finals appearance in the division. Their performance is officially scheduled for 11:39 am in the South Arena.

After that, the Jazz dance squad will perform in the HP Field House at 12:25 pm. The CU Dance Team has earned several top-10 finishes in recent years and they are eager to showcase their skills against an extremely competitive division.

Wrapping up the days events will be the mascot competition where Chip The Buffalo will be competing at 2:35 pm. Chip has previously won two national titles (2009, 2010) and is currently ranked No. 2 in the mascot competition thanks to his video qualification that makes up 50 percent of his score (the other 50 percent is based upon his skit performance on Saturday).

The competition will be nationally televised on ESPN and ESPN2 and is also available for live stream at https://tv.varsity.com/events. Additional competition information can also be found at https://www.varsity.com/uca/school/competitions/college-nationals/.
