FEU Cheering Squad bring home the UAAP Cheerdance crown after 13 years

For the first time since 2009, Far Eastern University is the new champion of the UAAP Season 84 cheer dance competition on Sunday, May 22, at the Mall of Asia Arena. 

 

After their back-to-back runner way back on UAAP Season 82 and 83, they got the highest scores this season receiving 727.5 points with no deduction because of their great performance with clean pyramids, and solid tosses and tumbles. 

 

FEU head coach Radell San Gregorio said “We’ve been runner-up for the past years. Finally, we won a title. The preparation was so hard. 15 people and three minutes. If six minutes was short, what more for this three-minute performance. We could also do more with 25 people.  As they say, the struggle is real,” Since this season has a lot of changes compared to the last seasons because of the Pandemic. It was limited to only 15 performers with a three minute performance without the presence of the drummers.
