The Countdown Is On For The 2018 UCA College Nationals

Posted January 4, 2018

The final countdown is on as college spirit squads put in their final hours of practice to perfect a routine they hope will earn them the championship title.

The 2018 UCA & UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship is less than two weeks away, and college athletes everywhere are working hard to make 2018 their golden year.

Last year’s championship was one for the history books, as multiple cheer teams held onto their winning streak for another year. The University of Kentucky, Indiana University, University of West Georgia, Wilmington University, Shelton State Community College, and Nassau Community College were a few of the squads that held onto the top spot and added another first-place trophy to their collection in 2017.

The coed and all girl Division lA teams always put on a show as some of the most anticipated divisions of the championship. In 2018, the University of Kentucky claimed their 22nd national championship title as they lead the pack in Div. lA coed. The Cats are known for bringing the total package of elite skills and engaging school spirit — and you can guarantee nothing less from the best in the new year.

The University of Alabama took second, followed by the University of Mississippi in third place.
